Abstract: Articles emulative of, and methods for making, artificial roses. Non-destructive, dry fashioning methods are used to produce artificial rose buds and fuller rose blooms from (a) rectangular sheet(s) of foldable and creasable material. A bud is made by various formative methods that create, in the first instance, an essentially tubular construct, one end of which is crimped and wound with florist wire, and the other end which appears with petal-like curls and pseudo-involution. Petal pairs made of a single sheet of the material are added, as desired, to acquire more mature-looking rose blooms. Throughout the method, no cutting, gluing or other mutilation of the workpiece sheet is employed.
