Halloween, the much-loved spooky season is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with these stunning designs by Anna Caraus featuring Porta Nova Red Naomi roses.
Anna, a floral designer, photographer, and videographer from Moldova’s capital, Chisinau, describes these arrangements as Very Halloweenistic Designs brought to life by the perfect red rose.
At the very first glance, Anna was quite impressed by our Red Naomi roses.
“It’s a rose worthy of admiration,” she says, “And gives any floral designer or florist the possibility of creating great and artistic designs for any season or celebration.”
Anna created a head accessory, a hand-tied bouquet, and a table centerpiece arrangement using red naomi roses, each of which is an impeccable work of art. She affirms that one thing is for sure; these red roses cannot go unnoticed, they attract the viewer’s attention and make you want to look at the design objects again and again.
Here is Anna’s story.
Halloween in Moldova
In Moldova, we do not celebrate Halloween as brightly and wildly as in the US and European countries. We do not have a tradition of children going door to door on this night and asking for “Trick or Treats”. But restaurants and crowded places are always decorated with pumpkins, ghosts, skulls, and spider webs. Sometimes parties honour the holiday with masks and scary costumes. That is what inspired me to create these floral designs for Halloween.
Love at first sight with Porta Nova Red Naomi roses
It was my first time working with these roses, and I was very impressed by their quality. The roses sent to me had a rich, deep red colour and fresh elastic leaves and buds, arriving neatly and tightly packed in branded boxes. The boxes had the name Porta Nova written on them and the company’s logo which included the infinity sign. Focusing on the endless and continuous process of improving the quality of the flower (from growing in the nursery to packaging and receiving by the end consumer), as well as making better the world around us, using modern technologies for gas-less growing flowers and natural methods to control diseases and harmful organisms.
Bold and Spooky With Red Naomi roses
With their velvety petals of a bright saturated red color with a very beautiful cup on its bud, these roses are the perfect choice given my inspiration. All Saints’ Day and Halloween are approximating, time to design with spiders and skulls. Beautiful flowers, as if they are dotted with blood, became bright accents against the background of the pale face of a female model as if ‘coming from the afterworld’.

Every Flower is a story
Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival, celebrated on October 31 to mark the end of the harvest and the start of winter. Celts believed that on this night, the boundary between the living and the dead blurred, and spirits could roam the earth. To ward them off, people lit bonfires and wore costumes. When Christianity spread, the festival became All Hallows’ Eve, preceding All Saints’ Day on November 1. I hope that I have inspired you to work with these Porta Nova Red Naomi Roses during these special days.
I am grateful for the opportunity to be involved in projects where I can grow as a creative person and a tireless enthusiast who seeks new adventures and experiences in the field of floristry and art.
