Nothing Says “I Love You” Quite Like Red Roses
With the wide array of Valentine’s Day flower arrangements our incredible floral design team creates each year, nothing beats the number of orders we get for bouquets of red roses in all sizes. That’s because this is the most traditional way to say “I Love You” on Valentine’s Day. The Symbolism and History of Red Roses Throughout history and literature, the red rose has symbolized love. Robert Burns created a poem in honor of the red rose and love while Shakespeare used a red rose in “Romeo and Juliet.” The red rose appeared in Europe after it was brought from China in the 1800s, but the connection of love to the red color was used long before that for many things related to intense emotion. When roses arrived, it was considered to be one of the most beautiful symbols of deep love and a favorite way to communicate that love for another. The meaning of deep love continues today with various numbers of red roses being gifted to a special someone. The popularity of a dozen red roses has come to symbolize giving one’s love for each month of the year. Two dozen, three dozen, or even more just doubles, [...]

Flowers for Rosh Hashanah
The Jewish New Year is celebrated from September 24 until September 26th and is known as Rosh Hashanah. Known as the Head of the Year, this special celebration is observed for two days. This time period is known as the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, which provides a connection between mankind and God. Celebrating the New Year The focus during this time is to reflect on this special relationship between God and mankind, including our own personal relationship with Him. Each year is a renewal of that relationship and connection. The observance of Rosh Hashanah includes sounding the shofar, which is the ram’s horn used to announce the coronation of the king and it also calls for repentance from sin. This signals ten days of repentance that then ends with Yom Kippur, known as the Day of Atonement. The horn is blasted 100 times over the course of Rosh Hashanah services as a reminder. Other parts of Rosh Hashanah include eating an apple dipped in honey and many special foods that symbolize the blessings of a New Year.
