Tutorial created in PSP 7 but can be done in 
other versions !

1. Open a New Image 500X400..Transparent
2. Using your Selections Tool ,
make a Rectangle like the one below

3. Choose a color of your choice to fill the box..
I chose a shade of gold...
4. Now go to Effects, Texture Effects, Texture
I chose Texture #18....Again, this is your choice
Deselect
5. Go to Inner Bevel and use the settings below

6. Go to Edit, Copy
Make a New Raster Layer
and paste the copied selection and line it up
like below

7. Create a New Raster Layer for the 
side of the Box...
Make a small rectangle anywhere on the work area...
Fill it with the same
color and take it to Texture again using the same texture
and then to Inner Bevel using the previous settings..
Click on the Deformation Tool and hold down the
Shift & Ctrl Keys and drag the corners to make it
fit..

If you need to line it up more,,go to the Layer Palette
and just by pointing at the layers on the palette you
will see the picture of that layer that needs to be moved...I clicked
Layer 2 which is the back of the box to move it over 
slightly to line it up...

Go to Edit, Copy and Paste the side panel
Add a new Raster Layer
and paste it to the
left side of the box 
It will look like below

Deselect and go to the Layer Palette and move
this Layer under Layer 2...
You may need to use the deformation tool again
to line it up...

8. Now its time to add the Flowers...
Get the roses or flowers you wish to place in the box
and make Layer 2 Active by clicking on it..

Now copy and paste your flowers inside the box
*The box is not merged, so watch out that they
don't stick out through the sides*..
Now go to Image, Rotate, 40 degrees to the left
and then go to Effects, Sharpen..
Keep placing the roses inside the box ...
Should look something like below

Layers, Merge Visible
If you look closely at the right side of the box
there are a few jaggies,,,just take the eraser tool
and carefully erase those jaggies....
9. Create a New Raster Layer...
Using the Selection Tool, create a Rectangle for
the top of the box anywhere on the work area....
Fill it with the same texture and, but change the Inner Bevel
Settings as shown below

Deselect and move this layer under the
Merged Layer to place it behind the box
Go to Image, Rotate, 30 degrees to the left...
Add a bow...
and You've Got a Box of Roses
:-)
