What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.
(1564 - 1616), "Romeo and Juliet", Act 2 scene 2 .
I love roses, most people love roses, unfortunately I hear over and over again that "roses don't last". The real problem is that they get the wrong roses from the wrong places. A rose with all it's beauty can be very temperamental. If they are not cared for properly they will wilt.
I have made it my life's work to treat my roses with the love and care that they need. Starting from the farms in South America, thought the long flight and trucks to get to my door, then I really start to treat them like the beauties that they are. When i opened the new Merrick location I installed the best floral refrigerator available to keep my roses at 34-38 degrees. I follow the latest post harvest care techniques available from Floralife, Chrysal and Dr. Staby's Chain of Life network. All this extra care and handling provides me with a rose that will be proud to send to some one special.
Every week I have customers call or come into the store raving about how long my roses last!
