Roses are a very popular flower for celebrating Valentines Day. It’s a given that if you are going to give flowers, the choice you can not go wrong with are roses. Pick your size, color, vase shape, long stem or short stem, roses have and always will be the flowers for Valentine’s Day.
In recent years we’ve seen some unique escapes from the usuall rose with the genetically altered types including the rainbow rose and also the blue rose. But don’t expect to find them at your local florist or at one of the online florists any time soon. These types of roses aren’t mass produced yet and will likely come at a hefty price if you can find them.
Yet if uniqueness is your aim you can still find some unique roses for Valetine’s Day and do it organically – no mad scientist needed.
Introducing the Worlds Tallest Roses. These spectacular roses which measure as high as 5-6 feet in height are grown on an Ecuadorian farm nestled between two volcanoes at more than 9,600 feet. These amazing red roses grow naturally tall in their native soil – no genetic alteration involved. The roses reach their height due to days of prolonged sunlight and cool nights which allows them to flourish beyond expectation.
What’s even more incredible about these elegant roses, is each stem boasts a large head which opens to an astonishing 3-4 inches in diameter, creating a sea of lush red rose petals that stay fresher longer. Now that’s a rose!
These roses are found at OrganicBouquet.comthe premier organic florist online offering eco-friendly bouquets and gifts. In addition to getting flowers that are probably taller than you, Organic Bouquet will give you a free pair of professional shears to help care for your roses.

Okay so Feb 14 is the day we get all mushy and romantic with our significant others or those who we want to be our significant others. I certainly don’t have a problem with Valentine’s Day. After all it’s only one day.
Yet some are so cynical and cerebral that they only see Valentine’s Day as a consumer feast by big and small business. But how is it so different from any other Holiday we celibrate in the USA. Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day on and on and on.
The haters of Valentine’s Day are primarily jealous because they are single – okay maybe they aren’t jealous but there has to be some form of resentment! Apparently this is very serious and some have gone to the extreme of putting up anti valetines day websites and blogs to express their resentment. One blogger made some anti-valentines day cupcakes.
Big business has even jumped on the bandwagon and carve out a new niche market to cater to the haters. Check out Blue Moutains anti valentines day e-cards. What other holiday gets so much flack? One site even bosted of throwing a anti-valentines day party. An anti love celebration.
But it’s not just the single people who are coming out against Valentine’s Day. Nationally syndicated columnist and CNN Contributor Roland Martin just wrote an op-ed “Commentary: Don’t be my Valentine” listing his displeasure with Valentine’s Day. Although happily married Martin still sees Feb 14 not as a day to celebrate love and romance but a day retailers have encourgaed and just so we can spend more money between Christmas and Easter.
There might be some truth to that. But everything is comercialized in our culture and we have to spend money on something. Have you ever just said Happy brithday to your mother, or father without giving them at least a birthday card. You don’t dear go empty handed. It’s the way it is!
Valentines Day is almost here. Retailers are preparing their stores with plenty of Valentines day themed items. Flower shops are arranging elaborate bouquets of red roses that symbolize romance, and jewelers are looking to find some extra romantics looking to buy a little bling.
While Valentines Day has become heavily commercialized it’s nonethless a tradition in America and also a handful of other countries. Valenties day can be a fun day and is now not exclusively celebrated by lovers or secret admirers. Valentines day cards are given to mothers, grandparents and even teachers.
If you have ever wondered how Valentines day originated and how we have come to celebrate the day as we do, then take a few minutes and watch this entertaining history lesson on the legend of St. Valentine: History of Valentine’s Day or this quick snippet:
These aren’t you’re ordinary red, white or pink roses. Rainbow Roses are an incredible creation to say the least and would make your valentines day memorable when your special love sets their eyes on a bouquet of these flowers. Roses are supposed to spark passion, love and romance. (Language of Flowers) but the rainbow roses seem to elicit feelings of happiness and a zest for life.
These highly colourful flowers have been developed by a Dutch businessman who dyes each bloom in the colours of the rainbow. The dyes are produced from natural plant extracts and are absorbed by the flowers as they grow.
The rainbow roses were developed as a alternative to the traditional Valentine’s gift of red roses. But these eye catching petals will cost as much as $65 for a set of 12 roses. $Cha Ching!$
They’re not as popular in the U.S. but supposedly enjoy a strong following in Japan and in parts of Europe.
