Red Roses


Red Roses was the unicorn from the Perfume Puff Pony set, which was released in both North America and in the UK in 1989. In the UK, the release coincided with the sale of the Perfume Puff Palace.

Red Roses was sold here in a US-style box, with the same accessories as those available in North America - a comb, flower hair clip and ribbon.  Like all the Perfume Puff ponies, she had a very fluffy mane and tail, which was soft and scented, like her body. Red Roses' hair is fading pink, and so can sometimes be found in white on the second hand market. She is one of the more sought after Perfume Puff Ponies - though whether she is more difficult to find is hard to discern (she was the first one I ever found second hand!). Part of her popularity seems to be her colouring - she is one of only a handful of yellow adult unicorns.

My pony, shown above, is not wearing her original clip. She is wearing her original hair, however - just to prove that yes, Perfume Puff hair can be neat and tidy ;)




 



Red Roses's Character

Like all of the Perfume Puff Ponies, Red Roses lived in the Perfume Puff Palace, and was generally interested in scented, perfumey things. She did not have a prominent comic characterisation, as she really appeared mostly in collective Perfume Puff -related pages or things around nursery rhymes or, in one case, listening to a story about a Christmas Rose.

Her box story talks about her finding a 'magic' bottle of perfume on her front step. This being Ponyland, she didn't think anything odd about this, and used it. Some drops fell on the ground and turned into roses. Turned out that it was just a gift from Lavender Lace, being a bit mischievous and sweet.
