Curved rather than flat
The rounded profile creates a softer, more sculptural shape and gives the flowing water a continuous surface to travel across.

BOOK A CONSULTATIONA distinctive hand-carved sandstone bowl with a smooth curved, doughnut-like form and rich natural colour that becomes dramatically more vivid when wet.
Measuring approximately 50cm across and 16cm high, this Rosara takes the traditional babbling bowl in a more sculptural direction. The gently rounded profile gives the stone a smooth, contemporary appearance while retaining the individuality of genuine Indian sandstone.
Water rises gently through the centre before flowing across the curved upper surface and spilling naturally around the outer edge. The shape creates a continuous ring of moving water rather than the flatter surface associated with a conventional bowl.
When wet, the natural oranges, browns, reds and purple tones within the sandstone become richer and more pronounced, making the stone itself a major part of the water effect.
The rounded doughnut-style form gives this Rosara a distinctive silhouette, while the smooth sandstone surface allows the water and natural colour to remain the main focus.
The rounded profile creates a softer, more sculptural shape and gives the flowing water a continuous surface to travel across.
Layers of orange, brown, red and purple mineral tones give the feature a warmer and more colourful appearance than neutral stone.
Broad enough to create a clear focal point while remaining low and easy to integrate into patios, gravel and planting.
Water rises gently from the centre before flowing outwards over the smooth curved sandstone surface.
Rather than filling a deep bowl, the water travels across the rounded profile, creating a thin moving layer that reflects light and intensifies the natural colour beneath.
The flow then reaches the outer edge and falls into the concealed reservoir below, where it is continuously recirculated.
Unlike a conventional stone bowl with a defined inner basin, this Rosara uses a continuous curved profile that gives the feature an almost doughnut-like shape.
The smooth finish creates a more refined appearance and allows the natural sandstone pattern to remain uninterrupted across the entire upper surface.
Rainbow sandstone is known for its naturally varied palette, which can include orange, brown, red, purple, cream and softer earthy tones.
These colours are part of the sandstone itself rather than an applied surface finish, giving every feature its own distinctive bands, swirls and natural markings.
The smooth finish helps emphasise this variation and, once wet, the stone becomes noticeably richer and more saturated.
Exact colour, banding, markings, shape and subtle dimensions vary naturally from one piece to another. This individual character is part of choosing a genuine hand-carved stone feature.
The supplied 66cm reinforced heavy-duty pebble pool sits below ground, leaving the curved rainbow sandstone feature and your chosen decorative finish visible.
Choose a firm, level location with access to a suitable outdoor electrical supply.
Prepare a suitable opening for the supplied 66cm diameter heavy-duty pebble pool.
Install the reservoir securely and level beneath the finished surface.
Position the supplied recirculating pump inside the reservoir and connect the pipework to the pre-drilled stone.
Ensure the reservoir support is secure and suitable for the solid sandstone feature.
Carefully centre the 50cm curved sandstone feature over the supported reservoir.
Conceal the reservoir with decorative pebbles while retaining suitable access to the pump for maintenance.
Fill the reservoir and switch on the pump. Water flows across the curved stone before continuously returning below.
Decorative pebbles are available separately, allowing you to conceal the reservoir and coordinate the finished installation with surrounding gravel, paving or planting.
Softer orange, brown, red, purple and earthy mineral tones reveal the natural grain and colour variation within the sandstone.
Water deepens and saturates the stone colour, making the warmer reds, oranges and purples considerably more pronounced across the smooth curved surface.
At approximately 50cm across, the Curved Rosara is substantial enough to create a defined focal point without requiring a large garden.
Its low 16cm profile makes it particularly effective within decorative gravel and planting, where the rounded form appears to rise naturally from the surrounding landscape.
The warm sandstone colours pair naturally with timber, sandstone paving, gravel and planting, while the smooth form also works surprisingly well within more contemporary garden schemes.
Explore the Rosara collection, including rainbow sandstone, black limestone, pink and grey granite and architectural Corten steel designs.
From classic babbling bowls to curved sculptural stones, raised bird baths and taller column fountains, Rosara offers a wide choice of natural materials and water effects.
Our water feature specialists can help you compare natural stone colours, bowl forms, scale and installation to find the right Rosara for your garden.
