Columbus discovered America because of a rose! It is written that on October 11, 1492, while becalmed in the Sargasso Sea, one of the crewmen picked a rose branch from the water. This sign of land renewed their hope for survival and gave the seafarers the courage to continue on to the New World.

Flower Ordering Tips:

Out of Area Delivery: If you know of a high quality local flower shop we recommend ordering directly with them. Otherwise, we recommend ordering through a floral placement service. Most local full service flower shops belong to a wire service and can place your out of area order for you. There are also several online services available on the Internet. Be careful not to order from a mail order service by mistake. Generally, you want your floral gift hand delivered.

Birthday: There is no better way to say happy birthday than with roses in any color. Another great option is an assorted arrangement in a vase or basket combining flowers such as lilies, iris and tulips.

Anniversaries: One of the most popular occasions to celebrate with flowers. A dozen red roses in a vase is the classic anniversary gift. Roses of mixed colors or multi colored mixed bouquets also do the trick.

Phone Ordering: Have the recipient's full name, address, phone number and payment information ready. It is a good idea to have a brief card message pre-written ahead of time. Ask the florist to recommend an arrangement based on your occasion and budget. Keep the design request as general as possible and let their artistic instinct take over.

Funerals: Funerals are an emotional time. It has been a long tradition to send flowers at the time of bereavement. White flowers are the most common, typically roses or lilies. Pink or yellow roses are also fairly common. Consult your local florists for more ideas.
