Chanukah Roses

Have you ever considered celebrating Chanukah with roses? Setting out bouquets of these beautiful flowers is a great way to uphold holiday cheer during the annual eight-day Festival of Lights, and they've become a holiday tradition for many Jews. Not only do Chanukah roses make a great decorative option, but they also work well as individual gifts for the people you care about.

Let's start with the decorative element first. It's become traditional for Chanukah roses (and other flowers) to come in white rather than any other color; therefore the so-called Christmas rose, which has white blooms with pink tips, also makes an excellent Chanukah rose. While white roses still maintain their classical meaning of purity, innocence, and goodness in any context, the color choice is probably more representative of the season than anything else. In the temperate climes of the Northern Hemisphere, white symbolizes of winter, and the snow that it brings during Chanukah season.

But don't let tradition constrain your choice of Chanukah roses -- with something like this, it never hurts to try something new! While the color scheme's up to you, red roses are always classy in any setting, and a rich multicolor mixture of roses can add pizzazz to any home or public place. If you're planning a Chanukah get-together, consider using roses to add elegance to a celebratory dinner. A nice vase of roses on either side of the menorah will also add to the atmosphere. In this instance, we recommend warm colors like orange, yellow, dark pink, and red, to highlight the flames of the candles.

Roses also make ideal Chanukah gifts for those you love. Traditional white roses are perfect for your daughter, granddaughter, or sister; buds are especially appropriate for young girls. Your Mom or grandmother would certainly appreciate a bouquet of refreshing pink, peach, orange, or yellow roses. A gift of green roses offers a wish for fertility and fecundity in a relationship, making them appropriate for newlyweds.

When it comes to the wife or girlfriend (or even someone you're courting), here's where you can really get creative with your gift of Chanukah roses. Roses of any color or quantity are appropriate, but red roses are a dead giveaway of your passion -- especially if you overwhelm the recipient with several dozen. If you want to get a little more exotic, give them purple or blue roses, which lend your gift a certain mystique and suggests you've been struck by the first flush of new love. The same is true of blue roses -- both those dyed from white roses, and for the future, the not-yet-marketed gene-tailored true blues.

If the price of Chanukah roses has you hesitant about buying, then you're in luck: at Mr. Roses, you can get a hundred roses for a price that other rose wholesalers would charge you for two dozen. If roses aren't your thing, check out our selection of calla lilies and mini-Gerberas. We also offer several varieties of green fillers -- including baby's breath, limonium, and hypericum -- to accent your home and gift bouquets.
