We probably don't need any reason or excuse to celebrate beautiful roses, but this month gives us that opportunity. June is National Rose Month and is your chance to send a gorgeous bouquet of these classic beauties to those you love. Although a go-to flower for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and more, you can give roses any day of the year, all year long. At this time of year, we love the bright, vivid vibrancy of summer roses, and you can get them from Beneva.
Did You Know? Roses grow in every color except true blue and black. They actually lack a gene necessary to create that color in their petals. Roses billed as "black roses" are actually a deep, dark red color. Read More about Beautiful Roses Showcased in June »

Although Memorial Day originated following the Civil War (when it was named Decoration Day), the sentiment of honor and respect has remained intact. This day has always been set apart as a day of remembrance, and continues to give us a chance to not only show esteem to those who paid the ultimate price for freedom, but to extend sympathy and compassion to spouses, siblings, or parents who may be mourning a loss. No matter who you wish to recognize on Memorial Day, you can count on Beneva to provide the beautiful floral arrangements you'll need to commemorate the occasion.

There are countless Moms in the world, but only one of them is yours. And that means that on May 14, you need the perfect flowers for Mother's Day - after all, only the best will do for this amazing woman. She is a counselor, nurse, storyteller, teacher, coach, confidante, and best friend, all of which qualify her for recognition and gratitude.

We recognize the women who have stepped in to fill a void, whether it be a stepmom, an adoptive or foster mom, a grandmother, or a family friend.
