history of long stem roses

The Long Stem Rose

A Little History of the Long Stem Roses

The elegant appearance of the long stemmed rose has made it one of the most popular flowers in existence. As the classic symbol for love, long stemmed red roses have become the preferred choice for romantic occasions. Long stemmed roses are also available in a variety of other colors, which makes them a fitting gift for a multitude of occasions. Their long, rigid stems make them ideal for arrangement and presentation in a vase, which has helped them become the favored rose for most cut flower arrangements.

Long stemmed roses, as we know them today, are typically variants of a classification of rose known as the Hybrid Tea. These roses originated in the 1800’s when, for the first time, roses newly introduced from China were cross-bred with European roses. The results were so revolutionary that the advent of the Hybrid Tea rose is generally regarded as the turning point between Old Garden Roses and Modern Roses. These long stemmed roses with large single blooms combined the pleasing scent of the tea rose with the ability to bloom repeatedly throughout the year. They also introduced a whole new range of colors to the palette. They quickly grew in popularity and are now the roses most often used to express our heart-felt sentiments to our loved ones.

Long stemmed roses are special because of the meanings we associate with them. They carry a wealth of significance that adds to their already impressive appearance. The traditional message of a bouquet of long stemmed roses is, “I will remember you always.” They can also be used to communicate to someone, “I still love you.” And of course, a bouquet of long stemmed red roses is the ultimate expression of true love. They can represent a love that runs deep and is long-lasting. A long stem rose bouquet can express that extra bit of love and gratitude to someone who is extra special.

As one of the most highly prized and sought-after types of flower, the long stem rose enjoys a unique position within the world of roses. South American roses in particular have emerged as some of the finest roses available. While roses have not been found to be indigenous to this region, the climate has proven to be ideal for producing roses with extra long stems and large beautiful blooms. Ecuadorian roses have set a new standard throughout the floral community. Long stemmed roses will no doubt continue to evolve and flourish, and the enormous weight of their significance will not soon be lost. Whether a single stem is used to convey a message of elegant simplicity, or a dozen are arranged in a breath-taking bouquet, it is difficult to match the impact of the long stemmed rose.

This was some of the history I found while searching the internet about long stem roses. I thought it summed it all up very well and chose to share it with you all. With Valentines day approaching very fast long stems will be delivered out quite a bit.

Visit me on Valentines day for some special products available for this loving holiday.

The Red Balloon florist believes in animals

I had to post this video as I truly believe in animal rights and I am an avid animal lover. This video shows the dedication and love that animals return to us ten fold. My heart truly felt this video as I was afraid at first they would say the dog died. Almost, if not for the quick response of the police.

She is battered but Angel is today’s Red Balloon hero!!
