Roses

Roses are one of the most loved flowers. They are very delicate in the designs of the petals and they have a delicious smell to them. The most popular color of rose is the red one which is a symbol of love. People often give them to tell someone they love them and to celebrate special occasions. A dozen red roses on your birthday, anniversary, or for Valentine’s Day is very exciting.

There are many different colors of roses out there besides red. They make lovely bouquets for weddings and to use as centerpieces for nice dinners. Roses can be used for these occasions in the closed up form or wide open. Fresh roses only last about a week though so you may want to consider going with silk ones that will last forever. They look just as beautiful and you can spray them with fragrance so they will smell like fresh cut roses.

Not all colors of roses are available in all areas. Yet with the access that there is to the internet, you can order what you want and have it delivered anywhere in the world. What a surprise you can deliver to a loved one to show them you miss them or that you appreciate them. Miniature roses are becoming increasingly popular too as they are very lovely.

A rose in its original form grows on a bush. There are thorns on the rose bushes so you will have to be very careful when you remove them to display. Most of the roses you will buy from a retailer or a flower shop have already have the thorns removed for you. Having a rose garden is plenty of work so be prepared. The soil has to be rich in nutrients in order for them to grow as they should. You also have to keep various types of pests and insects away from them.

Throughout history, the rose has been a symbol for various cultures. You will find it has meaning in various paintings, books, and other works of art. Roses can be quite expensive but if you want to make a good impression or express a particular emotion you usually can’t go wrong with this gift.
