Red Roses
How can I keep red roses nice and fresh until giving them as a Christmas gift?
I am going to have roses delivered to my house, then hand deliver those roses to my girlfriend on Christmas. Since the flower delivery service doesn’t deliver on Christmas, I am having them delivered early on the 24th….how can I keep these roses nice and fresh so they won’t be wilted or withered when I present them to my girlfriend on Christmas?
these are 12 long stemmed red roses in a vase
Cut an inch off the bottom and put a couple of aspirins in the vase if you are worried. But they should be fine without doing anything. Don’t let them get hot. Keep them 45-50ยบ F if you can.
Red Roses

A soft Red Rose and a Bottle of Champagne
A soft red rose and a bottle of champagne
Set against white clouds of silk forever embedded in my brain
Yellow wrapping of glistening bright material
Setting this scene that is almost surreal
Love flowing through the quiet air
Looking at you with your golden hair
Where is there to be another who is complete
In all my life none did I ever meet.
Klinking our glasses to share this moment
A history come alive in a true love lament.
Mind goes dizzy with this feeling I have for you
Lost in the haze created within your eyes of a soft sensitive hue.
Red roses for a treasured love
Champagne to celebrate the unity thereof.
Celebrating loves value especially on Valentines Day with the love you cherish is definitely never a waste of time, energies or expense. It is remarkable to see couples sharing a quiet walk in a park, at the beach or even walking slowly down the street arm in arm.
When you decide that life is too important to take the time to spend quality moments with the love of your life you have just lost the very love you wanted more than anything else at one time or other. We need to resume control over the heavy demands of work and we need to express our values more so they will be heard and appreciated and recognized, plus the added advantage of fighting off temptations and adversaries.
In the movie The Knights of The South Bronx Ted Danson’s character is having a conversation with the mother of one of the kids he is teaching and his wife is looking at him with such love in her eyes that one cannot miss it. As they are driving home she tells him as much and at this point was glad to have her husband back who had been stolen by the rigors of work. How many spouses, partners and parents are being stolen right now by the demands of work and how many kids have once again been saddened that their parent broke another promise because of work?
Developing the habit of extra hours all in the name of duty for work is common place and unfortunately companies exploit this behaviour and for the benefit of family life it does not behoove the essence of love to continue in this way.
Work is a vehicle that enables us to enjoy the things and the people who matter to us and is not the main reason of our existence and when we accept that our families are more important we then live more in harmony and balance with the laws of attraction and enjoy the blessings of our labors.
To live as a prince or princess is fine and dandy in a book or movie but the reality of life has many demands for the mere mortals we are and as such we have to make a concerted effort to express our love that the characters in the movies do so eloquently and liberally.
Your spouse is your prince or your princess who in your sparkling eyes enhanced with the love you know no matter the time or day or the garbs they are clothed in or not. To love is to know the essence of the person to whom you are captivated and when the chores are completed and the work day is over you guys have to face off and if love is true this will be a harmonious event.
The metaphor of red roses and champagne will serve to be an example of enjoying the simple things of life and celebrating that your life is filled with the love you have consciously decided to cherish. God bless you.

Am I the only one who thinks red roses are the ugliest looking flowers?
I think Hallmark has sucked all the life out of them, Spanish roses are pretty but red roses(puke).
SO many prettier flowers out there.
yes your the only one that thinks that
