A Rose for the Headstone, Another Rose to Take Home in Memory
Participating in the Memorial Day Flowers “Florists & Community” program is an excellent way to connect with your community and honor those who served. A single rose, placed on a headstone, is a floral expression of appreciation.
Memorial Day 2012
- 50,000 roses were donated by farms and distributed by 84 florists at 95 cemeteries or ceremonies in 26 states.
- The cornerstone of the 2012 event was Arlington National Cemetery. 60,000 Ecuadorian roses and 2,000 California Bouquets were handed out by 120 volunteers.
2013 Goal
- The Memorial Day Flowers “Florists & Community” program has expanded and will be offered to two hundred florists nationally.
- Participating florists will receive 400 roses, a Memorial Day Flowers banner, and 200 informational handouts.(There is a space on the back of the handout to place your shops’ information.)
There are several ways to use the roses you will receive within your own community:
- Contact your local Veterans’ Cemetery and set up a table to distribute roses to visitors.Each visitor will be given two stems of roses: one to place on a headstone and one to take home in remembrance of afriend or relative. Optionally, you could provide a service for families that are unable to visit by sending a digital picture of the rose lying on the headstone.
- Distribute roses at your local Memorial Day parade or ceremony.
- Place a sign under your shop offering a free Memorial Day rose to anyone who comes in on the proceeding Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.
Your 400 roses are donated by South American and U.S. rose growers. For Delaware Valley Floral Group customers, there is no charge, as DVFG will pick up the freight and handling cost.
From a DV customer:
“I just received a phone call from Romero concerning the Memorial Day Rose campaign. I did not realize how much Delaware flowers was contributing to this cause. We think this is the most wonderful idea and applaud your generosity. Thank you for including us in the event and as always it is a pleasure to work with you and Delaware Flowers.
Best Wishes,
Chris
