Portland Afternoon (Rose)
A timeless handmade paper rose—full, open, and crafted for the moments that stay with us.
Portland Afternoon is a handcrafted paper rose inspired by quiet beauty, romantic traditions, and a very real garden walk in Portland, Oregon. With its full, open bloom and soft petal curves, this flower is an ode to the timelessness of love—whether in celebration, remembrance, or quiet reflection.
This rose design came to life after spending time among hundreds of real blooms in the Portland International Rose Garden. It combines refined technique with personal memory, making it one of the most emotionally resonant flowers in the Still Blooming collection.
Each rose is shaped by hand using fine crepe paper and detailed with pan pastels, then sealed to preserve its form. It’s a meaningful bloom for:
Weddings and anniversaries
Sympathy or remembrance
Bridal bouquet recreations
Romantic gestures or everyday elegance
