I cannot believe that April is nearly over already. That, of course, means that Mother’s Day is now just around the corner. Hooray for us mommas!
I think that it’s pretty safe to say that when Mother’s Day comes around, gift giving is on the mind. After all, mothers are quite spectacular creatures and a once a year celebration should be equally as outstanding. More often than not, one of the go-to gifts of choice tends to be flowers. Symbolizing everything from beauty and love to friendship, joy, and appreciation, they truly encompass every aspect for which one would want a Mother’s Day gift to possess.
However, finding just the perfect bouquet is often much easier said than done. With a plethora of florists both online and in-stores across the country, it is hard to know which takes the cake. Which one will provide the best end result? Which one ensures the best quality flower? Which one is just perfect for you? Well, what if I told you that you could get the same gorgeous flowers seen in the Miss America Pageant and the Rose Bowl? Would you be interested?
For the past three years, PassionRoses has been the “Official Rose of the Miss America Pageant” and was selected by, both, the Rose Bowl and the Tournament of Roses to also be named the official rose of the game and stadium. Right now, however, they have chosen to place their focus on mothers.
“PassionRoses is a family-oriented company from Bogota, Columbia dedicated to providing the highest quality roses, both in beauty and sustainability.”
With Mother’s Day now only two weeks away, many are searching for a great bouquet for the great mothers in their lives. Though PassionRoses are grown in Columbia, these bouquets can be found in more than 5,000 retail locations across the United States. Available in a slew of beautiful color options, these flowers are perfect for everyone (mother, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt, etc.) and on every occasion, especially Mother’s Day!
Now, in all honesty, I’ve never been all too impressed with flowers in general. I’m much more of a dinner and a theme park type of woman as opposed to the wine-and-dine type. My mother-in-law, however, is an avid gardener and has slowly turned me into the same. Having recently moved into our new home, project “overhaul the yard and begin the garden” has commenced. She, knowing plenty about a large array of plants, has given me a new found love for flowers. Now, while I still have a personal preference that flowers remain growing and living beautifully within a garden setting, I have taken a page from her book and have donned the interior of our home with vases full of gorgeous blooms. At the end of the day, one thing remains true, every woman loves receiving a striking bouquet. And, with PassionRoses you get just that.
“PassionRoses isn’t a factory farm or a huge conglomerate. Our artisanal approach to rose gardening means every rose is tended, picked, and arranged by hand. Every step of the delivery process is overseen by one of our artisans to maintain the perfect temperature and gentle handling. There is no middle man delaying the process, so every rose arrives still blushing from the morning’s dew.”
