This year Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her 60th year on the throne and you can bet  it’s going to be a Diamond Jubilee to remember, with the whole of the UK gearing up for a massive street party. Will you be celebrating?… Great!

To mark this special occasion we are going to be offering our premium Great British Bouquets. The bouquets were first designed for the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton back in 2011, by our team of expert florists. It consists of Luxury Long Stemmed Roses in Red, White & Blue with luscious foliage.

As you know we’re also the Internet balloon specialists so we’ve got a nice little selection on Great British Balloons for you as well over at InterBalloon.

So remember June 5th is probably a date you’ll want to make a note of in your diary.

Take care,

The Red Rose Society

It’s only a few days to go now until Mother’s Day and once again my friends, you’ve excelled yourselves! A big thank you to all our customers and all the Mums in the world, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did

Just enough time to tell you that as always The Red Rose Society is busy going the extra mile delivering throughout  the UK the very best in both :-

&

In fact all those extra miles we go, if we added them up we would have gone to the moon and back for all our customers a hundred times over

Ok enough of that, as you know by now our prices are astonishingly brilliant so you don’t actually have an excuse not to get your Mum something amazing this Mothers Day.

Till our next thrilling post.. Cheerio everyone

We are delighted to announce that our valentines day 2012 twitter friendly competition winner can finally be crowned.

However before we  do the honours, we would like to point out to all concerned that the very moment the final decision was agreed a spontaneous “Congo” erupted inside the pub and we all headed out of the door for a Victory Lap.

The only thing any of us remember is hearing the Landlord shouting “Ohh No Not Again!!!!!”… To understand why he said that please click here!

Ok with that said, we really need to move on from this frivality and reveal the winner of our Valentine’s Day 2012 twitter friendly Competition….

Dramatic Pause for effect

1 second.

2 seconds..

3 seconds…

Ok now that the dramatic pause is out of the way could you all please be upstanding and put your hands together for :-

The winner of the Valentine’s Day 2012 Twitter Competition… Joanna Moran

We loved Joanna’s entry so much because, it was a little off the wall compared to the rest of the entries and we actually tested it and my goodness it’s true, no stress ever again… especially if you take your shoes and socks off and start with your feet :-

Her faboulous winning entry is :-

TRRS stands for… Tickling Really Relieves Stress

So congratulations once again Joanna you have just won a wonderful gift every month for a whole year from The Red Rose Society.

Ok…. With that done and dusted, onto our August the 14th Eros Day 2012 competition… Mmmmmmm what to do this year?

It’s been a whole week since Valentines Day and whoa, what a Valentine’s it was! We are very pleased to announce it was our best ever since records began and the well oiled machine, that is The Red Rose Society, ran like, well, a well oiled machine… We must be getting good at this

Anyway more importantly of course our Valentine’s Day 2012 Competition is over for another year and despite what we thought was a really difficult tie breaker, asking everyone to come up with a suitable alternative acronym of “TRRS” to “The Red Rose Society”, we’ve had a huge response with literally hundreds of blooming brilliant entries.

Obviously the whole point of running a competition is to announce a winner at the end of it, just like in our Valentines Day 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Competitions, but before we do, we wanted to share with you all our entries, so you can see just how difficult it will be to pick a winner.

Infact there is a lot of squabbling behind the scenes in regards to picking a winner with every member of staff  having there own opinion (nothing new there then) about who should win our 1st prize of a year of roses, hampers, chocolates, balloons and gifts from us.

It’s driving us all loopy to be honest and if it continues any longer the boss is going to drag us all down the pub after work and make we stay there until a winner has been picked by a majority vote. It could be a very long (especially if the boss is paying for the drinks) night

OK, enough of that… without further ado here we go… here is the list of all our blooming wonderful Valentines Day 2012 Competition entries :

The End… Told you we had blooming loads of brilliant entries… Please feel free to comment on your favourite and we will be back soon (after we have all been dragged down to the pub) to announce the winner of our Valentines Day 2012 competition.

Thanks for reading, taking part and of course believing in a thing called Love

Valentine’s day is fast approaching and preparations are well under way, with stacks of boxes waiting to be filled with wonderfully romantic gifts. Our new Valentine specials are up and are going down well, we’ve already had some orders for the cool single rose treats.

Now that InterRose.co.uk supplies the whole of the UK with a shower of wonderful Valentine’s Day gifts every year, people often forget its marvellous history:

1. Jack Valentine

This is a rather strange tradition from Norfolk. This basically involves a father christmas type figure leaving presents for both children and adults. There was also sometimes an opposite character who would play pranks on someone, often by teasing them with a present and then snatching it away. We wouldn’t advise reviving this tradition with your Valentine, we know our gifts are tempting but you need to resist the urge to keep them for yourself!

This is an old Chinese celebration similar to Valentine’s day which occurs on a day when it is said that two stars usually separated by the milky way cross this ‘river’ and meet. It seems that it to involved girls practising ‘domestic arts’ in the hope of finding a good husband so it’s no wonder it has changed a bit in modern times.

Some countries (including finland) use the day for the celebration of friendship more than romantic love, so there are a few places in the world where you could get away with watching the [insert favourite sport here] come the fourteenth. Whether you are celebrating friends or a partner, they are sure to appreciate it if you win our valentine’s day competition by simply telling us what you think “T.R.R.S.” should stand for.

This was an ancient pagan Roman festival of fertility, celebrating the mythical she wolf which mothered Romulus and Remus; the former being the founder of Rome in legend. This festival occurred on the thirteenth to fifteenth of February, overlapping the later celebration of valentine’s day. It also involved slapping people with blood covered strips of sacrificed goat hide though so things have changed a bit.

It is widely accepted that the association of Valentine’s day with romantic love began in the middle ages with the idea of courtly love where men and women were supposed to show subtle admiration for each other while staying ‘just friends’,  but often ended up leading to more ;p. Before this it is likely to have been a more general celebration of all kinds of love, including family.

In the eighteen hundreds the way Valentine’s cards and gifts were given changed and people began sending them by mail, beginning the trend of sending them anonymously (as well as, shall we say, less reserved messages).

Roses have long been symbolic of love, with various cultures using them at weddings and other events.

Originally the white rose was used as the symbol of (particularly new) love as it symbolised purity and innocence which were expected at the time. Various legends from around Europe in particular involve roses changing between white and red, with red representing passion, possibly inspired by blushing. The red rose became more popular when people began to secretively give them as gifts, allowing them to use a colour with a less subtle message.

This is a bit of a mysterious one as no-one actually knows for sure who he was. There are actually records of three saints named Valentine associated with the date of February the fourteenth, maybe they are really a trio of romantic superheroes!

All we know for sure is that the legend involves a man defying the will of an emperor and risking (well… receiving) death to marry young couples. You might not be willing to go that far to be romantic this valentines day but I’m sure your Valentine won’t hold it against you, and will find an “I Love You”  balloon just as thoughtful.

Originally, Valentine greetings often took the form of a spoken message or a gift but some time after fourteen hundred written messages began to appear. These eventually gave way to elaborate cards with lace and ribbons, often having a personal message added to the inside.

Want to send someone a gift this Valentine’s day but don’t want to ruin the surprise by suspiciously asking for their address just before? You could always send virtual roses completely free! Embrace the future and enter the matrix.

Sorry we’ve been absent for a while, Christmas was absolutely mental. This post is even a bit late obviously as 2012 is already upon us but, don’t worry because we’ve got a great year in store for our wonderful customers.

Christmas hamper bonanza

Before I bang on about the new year too much we have to take a deep breath and look back at the amazing Christmas we just had. When I say insane I really do mean it. It was like a hurricane of blood-thirsty customers who wouldn’t rest until they’d bought all our mistletoe/holly/hampers!!!

I mean I’m not complaining or anything but seriously we were absolutely swamped. We hope you all had a lovely Christmas of course and enjoyed your goods. We all had a nice one as well except for Sam who’s manic depression got the better of him Only kidding Sam, hormonal imbalances aren’t funny and we shouldn’t laugh about it.

New Year

So here we are, it’s 2012 and the earth hasn’t imploded yet. The Mayans shouldn’t feel too embarrassed though because – although it isn’t for biblical reasons – the world is in a pretty bad state, what with the global economic meltdown and Justin Bieber etc.

New balloon designs incoming
We’ve been giving a lot of love to InterHamper and InterMistletoe  just lately and we feel that InterBalloon could do with a bit of refresh, so we’ve decided to add a tonne of all-new designs from around the globe. There’s some really nice balloons doing the rounds at the moment that we’re eagerly going to be welcoming in to the InterBalloon family.

Valentines day preparation

Dare we even mention it? The biggest day of the year is upon us once more and we’ve got a little bit of preparation planned that’ll hopefully control some of the Valentines Day chaos that’s sure to ensue. We’re probably going to offer a more concise range this Valentines day, not because we’re stingy, but because we want you – our lovely customers – to be able to make the best choice of flowers/roses for your loved ones. Obviously those of you who still want to order your 74 red roses (you know who you are you arbitrary individual) can do so by simply giving us a call and having a chat with one of our awesome staff. We’ll get you sorted in no time, but for most of you; we know you like to keep it simple so we’re going to be making our rose bouquets luxury as standard and really pushing the indisputable king of Valentines Day bouquets: A Dozen Luxury Long-Stemmed Red Roses!

Have a happy new year

All said and done, 2011 was a great year for us and our customers. We updated our sites with some cool new bits and ventured rather successfully into new territories. We even got a smile out of Sam which is quite a feat let me tell you.

All the best,

Ben

This post is titled “about blooming time” because it’s about blooming time we decided upon the winner of our “I Love Eros Day because…..” competition.

It’s been nearly 3 months since August the 14th and all of the Rockmantic Godsarians of Love (AKA all the staff of The Red Rose Society) have sufficiently recovered enough from our annual Eros Day bash (Except for Zeus that is, who still has a sore head) to pick the winner of our wonderfully exciting, romantic, original and sweet Eros Day 2011 competition.

However before we announce the winner please allow us to say a really big THANK YOU to each and every one of you who entered this year, unfortunately there can only be one winner and…. Drums Rolls please…… It’s the very lucky and lovely Gail Lowery, who won despite a few tantrums and thunder bolts being thrown out of the aforementioned pram of Zeus.

Gail won because her acronyminal (is that a word?) entry nailed the very essence and meaning of Eros Day for us with her blooming better late than never winning entry below:

I Love Eros Day Because… its Exciting Romantic Original & Sweet!!!!

Thankyou Gail, you have won a tantalisingly wonderful year of gifts and don’t forget like Psyche herself you are in our eyes immortalized forever and it goes without saying of course but you are invited and your +1 to all our future Eros Day bashes on the 14th of August on top of Mount Olympus every year… See you there… if you a dare!!!

Anyway that’s all folks, our Eros Day 2011 competition is officially over for another year, long live our Valentines Day 2012 competition.

Hello mere Mortels,

We are only just emerging from Mount Olympus (rather hung over of course) from our 10th Eros Day celebrations held on August the 14th 2011. It was one Tartarus of a Party that’s for sure and next year everyone who entered below is invited :-

Well wonder no more because we have a sneak preview of what we believe Kate Middleton will be holding on her big day and it’s called The Great British Bridal Bouquet because it’s full of the nations favourite flowers… Red, White and Blue Roses.

We realize of course Kate Middleton’s bridal bouquet will probably be a little more traditional than this, but wouldn’t it be a wonderful surprise if her bridal bouquet matched all the red white and blue bunting stretched across the street parties of Great Britian?

By the way… if you’re reading this Kate, and you have changed your mind as to your bridal bouquet (it’s a Princess’es prerogative you know) you’re not too late to order one of our Great British Bouquets online from… you guessed it… The Great British Online Florist of Choice.

Thanks for reading everyone and all that’s left to do, is wish Kate and Will on behalf of The Red Rose Society and all our members, all the very best and that their lives be filled with happiness, charity work and heirs to the throne.

Ohhh not forgetting of course…. Long live the Queen
