Thanksgiving RosesOne grand civic holiday that the United States and Canada share in common is the one we call Thanksgiving. Though it's set on different days in different months according to the nation celebrating it, this holiday represents the same thing: a memory of the gratitude (and relief) our settler ancestors felt when they realized that they'd made the right choice in coming to the New World. In Canada, Thanksgiving is officially held on the second Monday of October; in the United States, it's the last Thursday in November. What does all this have to do with flowers? Well, the key to any successful Thanksgiving is the traditional feast -- and what feast is complete without decoration, particularly the use of flowers as a centerpiece? A nice vase of roses on the table will add class to any Thanksgiving dinner, and if you want to get really fancy, you can even use the occasional rose or two in your place settings. Given that Thanksgiving is a fall holiday, bright-colored roses in tones of pink, yellow, and orange can work very well with the autumn foliage, pumpkins, and other things that are traditionally used as Thanksgiving decorative elements. White roses also make a good choice, given that Thanksgiving is held late in the year (especially in the United States); they echo the snowy weather that's often already hit the northerly climes when the holiday rolls around. Or, for a more hopeful note, why not offer up some green roses? Not only are they exotically attractive, they also suggest fertility and growth -- certainly an appropriate sentiment for a celebration of thanksgiving, with a hopeful outlook for the year to come. While gift bouquets of Thanksgiving roses aren't especially traditional, there's nothing written that says you can't create a new Thanksgiving tradition of your own. Why not send your wife or girlfriend some flaming red roses to demonstrate that your passion for her is still fresh? She'll love them. Or, show your thanksgiving for someone with roses of deep pink, which is the color of gratitude. For a touch of mystique, send someone purple or blue-dyed roses. In general, roses in full bloom also represent gratitude, so they're also appropriate for a Thanksgiving bouquet. If you've never traditionally decorated with Thanksgiving flowers or given Thanksgiving bouquets to your friends and family, well, it's time to start thinking about it. Why? Because you can get Thanksgiving roses for ridiculously low prices these days. And even if you're ordering in late November, you don't have to worry about your Thanksgiving roses being out of season.
