Red Roses
It's hard to imagine a world without the rich, velvety beauty of red roses, from the perky Mister Lincoln to the stately First Love to the dark, mysterious Don Juan. The classic rose is almost always pictured as red, and according to the old poem, "Roses are red, violets are blue" -- but in fact it hasn't always been that way. Hard though it may be to believe, no one in the Western world had ever seen truly red roses before about 1800, when they entered Europe by way of China. Until then, cultivated roses were available only in various mixtures of white and pink, despite the old myth about the first red roses sprouting from the spilled blood of Adonis, Aphrodite's lover.
Be that as it may, nowadays red roses are a favorite of rose growers and fanciers everywhere, so that there are there are probably more red roses than all other colors combined. They come in names like Chrysler Imperial, Charlotte, Madame Delbard, and Tiffany, and continue to be superbly popular: in fact, there are more than 900 varieties of red roses, and with 300 new rose varieties produced every year, there will soon be many more. Of course, you'll find red roses in great profusion at Mr. Roses. We offer several varieties of red roses, including the Royal Stem roses with stems a full 32-inches long. You're unlikely to find those anywhere in North America: ours come from our rose farm in Ecuador.
A rose by any other name…
Although red roses are classic, appearing over and over again in events from weddings to conferences, baby showers to dinner parties, they're not something that most people ever grow weary of. While roses of all colors are beautiful, the color red particularly fits roses, going with them the way blue goes with sky and white goes with snow. Red roses appeal to us in a way few things do, so is it any wonder that they remain the sine qua non of roses everywhere? Roses are America's favorite flowers, and red roses are at the top of the rose list.
If you give your love a red, red rose…
There's a entire language to flower coloration, according to tradition, and red represents love. Mix red roses with white roses and you've got a representation of unity or harmony.
