The extremely skilled and professional floral designers at Huisman Flowers are ready for National Rose month and Red Rose Day with the freshest and most colorful Roses. Such a beautiful flower and always the most pleasant experience to “stop and smell the roses”.

National Rose Month is dedicated to Roses. June is a great month for Roses as they are typically in full bloom. Multiple weddings take place in June and Roses are a favorite flower for weddings as we all know. There are an impressive 150 plus species of Roses and for many years they have been a favorite flower used by authors, artists and advertisers.

In the United States, several states use varieties of both wild and domesticated roses as their state flower. In New York the official flower is any rose of any color. North Dakota and Iowa refer to the Prairie Rose as their state flower. The Cherokee Rose is Georgia’s state flower and finally the “Oklahoma Rose” is the state flower of Oklahoma.

There are some very interesting facts about the Rose. Below are a few of those:

There are only three flowers mentioned in the Bible and the Rose is one of those three. Lilies and camphire are the others.
The largest private Rose collection is in Tuscany. The Carla Fineshi Rose Garden has more than 6,500 different varieties.
Roses have a long life expectancy. There are even fossils of the Rose dating back to 35 million years.
In ancient times, the Romans used Roses for decorations and because of their wonderful fragrance they used them as necklaces.
Roses are one of the more expensive flowers and the most expensive is the Juliet. It took 15 years to breed this variety.
The tallest Rose bush ever recorded is 18 feet 8 inches. It is located in La Puente California and is a variety called Bewitched hybrid tea rose.
Though there is a Rose referred to as the Black Rose, this is actually a Rose that has such a dark red color it appears to black.

For Memorial Day May 31st, the skilled floral designers at Huisman Flowers will help you select a caring, thoughtful and patriot flower arrangement or green plant to honor a special military hero and members of his or her family.

Officially named a federal holiday in 1971, Memorial Day was in earlier years referred to as Decoration Day and started after the Civil War. At that time people were holding tributes to the thousands of fallen American Soldiers that died in the Civil War. The tradition was to decorate graves with beautiful flowers and recite prayers. Today, in addition to visiting memorials, people attend or participate in parades and have family gatherings.

There are many ways to reflect on our fallen heroes, including ceremonies, celebrations, and festive occasions that focus on patriotism and how much we value the freedom that we hold dear. They fought for us and now we must remember and honor them.

At all Memorial Day celebrations and remembrances, flowers are a way to reflect the beauty and love represented in remembering these heroes, many of which were our loved ones.
