The Memorial Rose...

5/26/2015

0 Comments

 
The memorial rose's reputation is ever so appropriate for this holiday weekend. Known as the ideal plant for cemeteries, this native to Japan is known to spread grave grounds like a blanket with it's disease-resistant foliage. They were carved onto tombstones and memorial statues and stitched, drawn or painted onto framed elegies. Such a beautiful long-lasting rose relative to commemorating our  heroes.

(As well as a stunning yellow David Austin rose also named Charlotte, which goes perfectly with her mother's, the Kate garden rose. The Queen Elizabeth Rose - actually came fairly late to the floral relatives. Regal names have been given to roses since the early thirteenth century. The Reine Victoria Rose - a french hybrid, was first among seven named after William's niece during her reign.

Accent don't overwhelm... 

When using blue in your big event, we see designers do it in many ways. The most important part of using blue is to accent with it, don't overwhelm. Very few flowers come in royal blue or turquoise, accent it with your lighting or glassware, or small accessories like in your place settings or linens.

This fire-red beauty was actually named through a contest for best entry to name this Jackson & Perkins Company bred rose that was predicted to prove tremendously popular in the 1930's. This climbing rose was just that. Photos of the roses were distributed featuring them draping over arbors, fences, growing up porches, and even won the an award for climbing roses in the 1933 International New Rose Contest in Paris. It served as the perfect warm and welcome decor to several home fronts and gardens.
