UPDATE JULY 2023: I don’t think this unique bondage rope is for sale anymore. The official RuffDoggieStyles website still lists it, but I can’t find it purchasable anywhere. This review remains for anyone who is curious about it. While you’re here, why not check out some additional educational info – like online submissive tasks, beginner pegging positions, saran wrap bondage, and enema 101 info.
The Ruff Doggie Styles Tie Me Up Rose Vine is a 60″ long vine. The entire vine is made from leather, and it features small, sewn-on leather roses throughout the vine.
The Ruff Doggie Styles Tie Me Up Rose Vine actually comes in packaging that makes it look more like a utility cord. There’s a piece of cardboard around the center of the vine that keeps the vine corded up. You can easily recycle the piece of cardboard as it’s really only there to keep the Tie Me Up Rose Vine manageable in size for shipping.
The Tie Me Up Rose Vine is a long vine! It’s also really good quality. Each one of the roses is sewn straight into the leather “vine” itself, and each one of the rose petals is sewn together as well. With long, frequent use, the roses may start to fall off, but this vine really should last you a bit. There are two large roses at the end of the vine, and the middle length of the vine is filled with a bunch of smaller roses.
The Tie Me Up Rose Vine is not long enough to work as a body harness rope, but it will work to tie up wrists and ankles. You may be able to tie up a wrist or ankle to a bedpost as well, but don’t expect to be able to get tight enough knots to keep them there too long.
Don’t expect this to work for your average bondage. It will, unfortunately, not work. The roses all over the vine make it pretty unusable as a piece of bondage rope as it means that you can’t actually tie knots into the piece of rope. It definitely can’t go in the water!
What it can do, though, is look beautiful. Just like locking wrist restraints versus velcro cuffs for sleeping, there’s a time and a person for each type of restraint. This one works fantastically for beginners who don’t want tight knots or even advanced players who love photography. The roses on the vine photograph really nicely. You do have to “spread” them out as they tend to stay a bit flat (especially depending on how you store them), but the roses will look really pretty in pictures. They don’t look realistic, but they certainly look kinky and very unique. If you have the Roses Flogger, which features the same kind of roses, you could really get some good kinky pictures going on.

To clean this vine, you’ll want to use a slightly damp washcloth and wipe the vine down. Don’t ever soak this as leather does not like being wet. Do only use this with partners you are fluid-bonded with because, with all of the leather roses on this, there are really way too many nooks and crannies for things and bacteria to hide in. For storage, keep it somewhere where it can air out, and also keep it somewhere where the roses will not get squished.
Overall, if you understand you won’t get tight, regular-knot bondage out of the Tie Me Up Roses vine, and want it for softer scenes or photography, it will last really nicely for that. It’s good quality, it looks beautiful, and it is long enough for easily tying up wrists or ankles. Thanks to Envy Us Online Sex Toys for providing this bondage toy for my Tie Me Up Roses vine review.
