Abstract The disclosure of the invention comprises restraining rollers for use in pairs with a carrier box for the transport of flowers, vase-supported flower arrangements, potted plants, and the like in a restrained carrying position on a vehicle seat. Each said restraining roller, or rollers, is formed with a highly resilient surface, and with pointed centering pins, which are relatively moveable, and are forced yieldably apart to bite into penetrable side walls of the carrier box. The rollers of a pair are pressed inwardly and downwardly against opposite sides of the container to be held, the compression of the resilient surfaces of the rollers acting to restrain the container against the bottom of the carrier box, and further against lateral movements relative thereto.
