There are just so many things to love this month. Summer is finally upon us, and with it comes lazy sunny days and a full social calendar. Father’s Day is on its way, and weddings are enjoying one of their most popular seasons. One of the most coveted flowers of the wedding planner is the rose, most often red or white – white roses are the iconic pure wedding flower, and red roses are the traditional bloom to represent romance.

Speaking of red roses, they are so beloved that they even get their day to honor them. June 12th is Red Rose Day, a day set aside to revel in the beauty of this most classic flower. Florists, botanists, and gardeners join flower enthusiasts from around the globe to put the red rose on display – so if you want to make someone feel loved this June, give them a red rose bouquet on June 12th.

Not coincidentally, the official birth flower of June is also the rose, but when celebrating birthdays, any color will be appropriate! Roses, more so than any other flower, have a language all their own, communicated through the colors of the flowers you choose. You can either create a bouquet of one color to send a strong singular message or design an arrangement of multiple colors that shows them that you recognize and appreciate the many facets of who they are! As mentioned, red stand for passion and romance; while yellow represent loyalty and friendship; pink expresses tender appreciation, and orange roses signify excitement about your relationship. So what do you want to say?

Wedding, birthday, or Red Rose Day – there are so many reasons to send roses in June. And Casas Adobes Flower Shop has every rose you need for every occasion. There will be over 110 million roses sent in 2016 – but only a few of them will be going to your loved one, so call us and make sure they are beautiful!
