The Pressed Rose

As a major storm is set to move in across the New England region, it may put a damper on the florists and other green industry folks that live and work hard for tomorrow’s Love Fest Holiday. This storm could force the celebration to subside for a day but a memory like this pressed Rose forces us to look back to a different season.

For those that remember this special Rose, it received a lot of attention in October. This particular archived post was called, ‘Pressed for Time.’ Hope you take a peek to read the story and to see what this special Rose looked like in the fall.

Today, this pressed Rose serves as a reminder of what makes us strong despite the storms. An unknown author once said, "Even if love is full of thorns, I'd still embrace it for I know that in between those thorns, there is a rose that's worth all the pain."

And don’t forget the flowers or a plant, even if it ends up being a day or two late. Celebrate this magical day. There is something wonderful about smelling a Rose in the midst of a winter storm. Until then, it’s the memory of a pressed Rose.
