These Tudor rose tiles carry five roses on every tile, one ringed at the centre and one in each corner, set among oak leaves. The motif comes from English Tudor ornament and suits a country kitchen, a fireplace wall or a period home.

Where to use it

Installing and care
As tile, back-fill each piece with tile adhesive and press it onto a flat, clean wall, then grout or caulk when the adhesive has set. To use one as wall art, hang it from the small hanger on its back. Behind a cooktop, leave the clearance your cooktop maker asks for. Tiles cannot be cut, so work out the layout in whole tiles first. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry it off; scouring pads and harsh cleaners will wear through the patina.
