Florist Delivered Roses
How should a dozen roses look from a florist when they’re first delivered?
My husband sent me a dozen roses in a vase for Valentine’s Day and they’re already dead. They were delivered Friday afternoon and they were already fully opened. Yesterday (Sunday) some of the stems had already bent and today they are all fully bent and look awful. I wasn’t going to say anything to my husband because I didn’t want to hurt his feelings, but after seeing how they look today, he did call the florist. They actually told him that people in our area (Georgia) like their roses fully opened. Huh? To me, opened roses mean they’re getting old and they shouldn’t be open but just slightly when delivered. The florist did agree to deliver new flowers tomorrow, so I’m just wondering what everyone’s opinion is. Thanks!
The florist did not tell you the truth. Roses are normally delivered budded, but not opened. You should immediately cut the stems and feed the roses. Cut roses do not have a long life, but certainly longer than 2 days.
He’d better deliver new flowers.

Grand Gala – The Queen of Roses
Did you know that fossil evidence found in Egyptian tombs suggests that roses have been around for about 35 million years? Cultivating roses was a practice that only began five thousand years ago in China, though it did not take long for the genus Rosa to spread to the West and develop new uses besides aesthetic ones.
Ancient Romans were rather obsessed with roses – they used the red flower petals as confetti during parades and celebrations, as a source of perfume, and as ingredients for medicine. In fact, the red rose became so useful to the ancient Romans that they found ways to make these flowers bloom beyond their natural peripheries. Perhaps the beauty of Roman flowers was so captivating because around this time, people began the practice of exchanging red roses to communicate romantic love.
If you think all red roses are the same, think again.
The Grand Gala variety was quite popular in the late 90′s. However, the proliferation of more productive varieties has forced many European and American farms to stop producing this flower. In the Philippines for example, the Grand Gala outsells any other flower variety in the market. Island Rose, the largest florist in the Philippines, delivers more of this variety than any other flower in their inventory.
Red roses in full bloom symbolize a strong, mature love that has withstood the test of time and the trappings of love. For anniversaries or Valentine’s Day, send your mate a dozen Grand Gala roses. The Grand Gala rose is hybrid tea rose created in France in 1994, and its size makes this rose perfect for the task of communicating love in full blossom. This flower is one of the largest roses commercially available – the diameter of a blooming Grand Gala measures no less than five inches!
The Grand Gala’s bright, clear red color and its abundant cluster of petals makes most other red roses look pale and small in comparison. If you lean closer to inhale its scent, you’ll discover that the Grand Gala has a strong, pleasing fresh fragrance that any woman will love. This makes the flower easy to handle when making complicated flower arrangements.
Many people buy roses rather than trying to plant their own gardens. In all actuality roses are a surprising hearty and easy to grow flower.
If you are considering planting roses, don’t be discouraged by the overwhelming information and tips available to ensure the perfect flower. The rose in itself is a perfect flower and anyone can plant them and enjoy the beauty of the flower. Taking your time to choose a spot for your flowers will allow you to find the best location for planting.
The first thing to do when planting roses is to find a sunny location with good soil and drainage possibilities. After you have decided on a location for your roses you need to prepare the soil. A compost pile is simple a part of soil and some simple items mixed in.
Remove any weeds or other vegetation from your soil after you have tilled the soil. Next start adding some common household garbage from various fruits and vegetable.
After you have prepared the soil for your roses you can select the plants you want to use. You can purchase bulbs from a nursery for a small price. If you know someone who has a beautiful rose bush ask for some stems to transfer into your garden. Always remember to plant bulbs with the pointed side up, if you can’t tell for sure which side is up plant the bulb on its side and the flowers will generally find it?s own way up.
Water the area regularly and wait that is all there is needed to produce a beautiful rose garden you can admire for years to come. With regular pruning your roses can grow and spread as little or as much as you would like them too.

Mystery Flowers?
So I received half a dozen red roses delivered to my work on Valentines Day (the day I got back from holidays). All the card said was “Welcome Home”. No idea who they are from! The florist said they were from a male who wishes to remain anonymous! I’m so frustrated! They weren’t from the guy I’m seeing so I don’t know, any ideas what to do, as I think just asking people out of the blue could be a bit dodgy…?
What else can you do, besides hire an expensive private detective.
-Just ask around, to people who might have some clue. A casual, “Do you know who sent the flowers? It’s starting to drive me insane,” Would do.
