Valentine's Roses
Roses have long been a symbol of one's love and affection on Valentine's Day. My husband, Mike sends me roses, not just for Valentine's Day for but other occasions too. Below are some of the Valentine's Bouquets I've received in the last few years.
Valentine's Bouquets
On Valentine's Day, Mike usually gives me roses for Valentine's Day, but it's always a surprise what color they will be. I think he enjoys giving them as much as I enjoy receiving them. While roses only last a short time, I have kept some from every bouquet he's ever given me.

The first dozen roses Mike gave me were ivory. I pressed all of them, and when time permits, I will mount and frame them. The day we were married we exchanged roses in a Rose Ceremony. Those roses were pressed and will be framed with one of our wedding photos. |
