Why I LOVE what I do?

Gee! I love our customers here at Roses 2 Go Florists and A Dozen Roses – The Rose Farm in Warnervale – honestly – I really don’t want to be corny or all mooshey, but we really do have the BEST customers and they are so loyal and supportive of our family owned & operated hydroponic rose growing (A Dozen Roses – the rose farm) & retailing business (Roses 2 Go Florists) here on the Central Coast of New South Wales.

Today has been particularly special – as we have done 3 weddings & all 3 brides were delighted with their roses – YEY & even took the time out of their special day to personally thanks us – WOW!

Then, I have served some of our longest standing customers today too & the one gentleman who is especially dear to me – as he has bought roses from us since we first began selling our roses to the public by puting our kids outside the rose farm on the streetside with a make-shift sign saying “Fresh Roses for Sale” right up until today. He has recently lost his licence due to his age and deteriorating eye sight but he managed to get a lift to our rose shop at the farm to be able to buy his gorgeous dear old wife some of ‘our’ roses. I was so touched because it is a huge effort and committment to us as his preferred supplier of roses. Anyway, I offered this lovely gentleman free delivery to his home to assist with future purchases, to which he declined saying he just loves our rose shop & my “happy smiling face” – CHARMER! So I really do LOVE what I do – serving our lovely customers with the best hydroponic roses grown by my husband Wade Mann – who does so, using the latest environmentally-friendly growing techniques and is able to guarantee the vase life of our roses to last at least 7 days.

I get so involved with our customers lives and feel so priviledged to be part of their emotional journey which is really why people give roses and flowers – to help express their emotion, whether it is love, sympathy, happiness, etc.

So today I dedicate my blog to our AMAZING customers – each and every one of you are indeed appreciated and the reason I LOVE WHAT I DO – so thank-you & have a rosey day:-)

PS – I also just LOVE our ROSES – and have to admit (hoping Wade doesn’t read this & gets a big head) Wade grows the best roses & they give off such positive & happy energy too!

Our Roses Even Have YOUR Name on them! Uuuhh?

Well, I had a bit of FUN this morning at Roses 2 Go Florist Woongarrah and A Dozen Roses The Rose Farm in Warnervale.  I decided to put friends and family names on our roses….. to prove we just don’t grow roses for just anybody – we actually grow these very precious blooms for YOU! 

Yes, talk about personal rose grower and florist – well, we do our best to make sure the roses are just perfect for YOU! 

So have a look at our gallery of roses and buds with YOUR NAME – YES, YOUR NAME …… I hope you can hear them calling YOU to come and get them from one of our 3 florists on the Central Coast of New South Wales – Roses 2 Go Florist East Gosford, 65 Victoria Street, East Gosford (02) 4322 0777 ; Roses 2 Go Florist Killarney Vale; Shop 1/132 Wyong Road, Killarney Vale (02) 4333 3990 or Roses 2 Go Florist Woongarrah, Lot 82A (105-115) Hakone Road, Woongarrah.  Or Find our CENTRAL COAST ONLINE FLORIST – www.roses2go.com.au

The Colour of the Rose Has a Hidden Meaning?

Okay – so giving beautiful fresh roses as a gift maybe a little more complicated than you once thought.  Obviously, there is a meaning attached to the number of roses given and now, the colour of the blooms.  Yes, apparently the colour of the rose (s) has a special meaning.  Now don’t beat yourself up too much about this because not everyone is aware of the meanings & are just so delighted to get such a precious gift – they are simply grateful.  But here goes, if you want the heads up on the meanings of the different coloured roses:-

 THE RED ROSE

* I Love You

* True Love

* Respect

* Courage

* Passion

THE PINK ROSE

* Happy Birthday/ Happiness

* Appreciation

* Gratitude/Grace

* Admiration

* Sympathy

* Elegance/Feminity

* Sweetness

THE YELLOW ROSE

* Joy & Gladness

*Friendship

* Welcome Home

* Freedom

* Missing You

* Caring

THE ORANGE ROSE

* Desire

* Fascination

* Enthusiasm

* I am proud of you

* Lust

THE LAVENDER ROSE

* Enchantment

* Love at first sight

* Fantasy

* Spirituality

* Magic

* Mystique

THE WHITE ROSE

* Pure Love

* Purity

* Humility

* Innocence

* Secrecy

* Reverence

* Sincerity

RED AND WHITE ROSES

* Unity

However, in the very early days of war,it was very unlucky to give Red & White Roses Together as it was a sign of “Blood & Bandages”.  Therefore, a bad omen for the receiver usually a lady meaning that their man going to war may end up with “blood & bandages”.  Some hospitals & nursing staff still feel it is unlucky to send a patient red & white roses.

MIXED COLOURED ROSES

* Trinity

* Festive

* EASY WAY OUT – making sure you say everything you should and leaving no stone unturned. Plus, there is bound to be one rose or colour that the recipient loves and decides that is the meaning they wish the roses to mean:-)  Basically a “win – win” situation:-)

Remember to have a very ROSEY day!
