Dear Personal Roses,

The roses were perfect! I can't tell you how many people were absolutely amazed at the uniqueness, and how perfect they were for the event. My theme "Everything's Coming Up Roses" and the tribute to the late Commissioner Eddie Rose tied itself so wonderfully to the personalized roses. I must say, I was a little concerned with ordering 300 roses and how they would be delivered and what they would look like when they got to Altamonte Springs, Florida... but the results were great. The packing was right, the roses were gorgeous and the embossing looked even better than I expected. The banquet manager at the hotel had her entire staff take a look at them and asked to keep one for a sample. They book many weddings and events and loved the idea to pass along to their clients. I'm sure you'll be hearing from someone in the near future. Everyone loved them! Thanks so much! I'm really happy I found you via the Internet.

One more thing... one week later and my rose still looks beautiful! :)

I have wanted to send you this a while ago but with my hectic business schedule I have had a hard time finding the time to sit down and write you this thank you letter. What I would like to do is thank you for the most incredible gift I have ever received in my life. It has been a while so I'll just refresh you memory of the roses that my husband bought from you for Mothers day. There were six roses in all and 3 of them had the faces of my three children and the other three said "I Love You."

I can still remember how my eyes filled with tears when I opened the box of roses, and as I enjoyed them for the next few days. I could not believe it even with my own eyes that my kids' faces were on a rose and how innocent and beautiful they looked. I can also remember how I felt when the roses began to get old and start to die. I can remember the feeling of desperation that I had to find a way to preserve the roses for all times. Brandon the ideas that you gave me worked and the dried roses with my children pictures on them are safe and I will be able to keep them forever. Your Product is incredible and your service is awesome. I am a loan officer at Barnes Bank in Farmington Utah, and to give these roses to our clients to show appreciation will be a great idea.

Once again, thank you for the very special moment that I was able to have with my children and husband on Mothers Day.

I have a wonderful husband who is very thoughtful. For our wedding anniversary he always surprises me with something very special and unique. This year was our 30th anniversary and I was anxious to see what he would come up with for this big 30th. I was not disappointed. After a day out together, we came home and there on the table were thirty beautiful long-stemmed Personal red roses. Each rose had a special gold embossed message written to me personally right on the rose itself. I have never seen anything like it. Of course I had to show them to all my friends who were just as impressed as I. I was so thrilled and excited, and felt so loved and appreciated. It was a very touching moment for me. I was swept off my feet with such a neat surprise. We have a wedding coming up and we can't wait to see the response of our guests.

Thank you so much for the beautiful roses we had at our son's wedding. We wanted to have something unique that no one had seen, and the roses were perfect. We had a large bouquet placed by the wedding book. Those roses had Grant and Haley's names and date of their wedding on it. Some had where they were married and the date. Around the vase we had sprinkled petals with printing on too. We also had other vases by the luncheon table and by the gift table. I think they will be beautiful on a cake with fresh flowers and petals around.
When people come through the line, that was what they talked about and everyone wanted to know where we had gotten them.

They were amazed that one petal on a flower could be printed on and never hurt the flower. We dried the roses after the wedding and we are having them made into wreaths for the bride and both sets of parents. What I was impressed with too, was how well they dried and how clear and readable the print on the roses were.
My Dad gave me some roses for Mother's Day. I dried them and am having them put into a wreath since they were pink and beautiful. I can't think of a better memory from a wedding than your flowers dried, but how much more meaningful when you have flowers that have your names and dates on them. It is a keepsake we will always treasure.

Oh, and our school is interested in them for the girl graduates next year, and my friend asked about them for pageants. Great ideas and many ways for making memories.
Thanks for making "memories" that will live forever.

We recently lost a grandson; we had prepared two-dozen red roses and two-dozen white roses with three different phrases (of our choice) on the roses. They were beautifully done. The people that came to the viewing and funeral were very impressed by the roses, as were we, they added to the services. Each member of the family was able to take roses for a keepsake and the gold lettering looks so impressive on the dried roses.
I would recommend these roses to anyone for any occasion.

As a nurse, I interact with so many different people in the hospital, physicians, secretaries, aides, and tech's. The reason we are all there is to care for patients and their families at a period of time when they are stressed, worried, and uncertain of what lies ahead. There is a sense that we are a team and working together for the best possible outcome. And even when the outcome is not what we wanted or worked for, it is nice to know that I have the support of my coworkers.

Patients and their families look to me for comfort, a kind word, and hope. There is a level of trust that develops between us. It is always a joy to see "old friends" drop by the hospital and let me know how they are doing. Or the unexpected meeting in the mall when someone walks up and tells me I took care of their father and how thankful they are for the kind words and caring feeling I gave to them, even with a less than ideal outcome.
I have a special friend, a patient waiting for a heart transplant. Circumstances were that this patient had to stay in the hospital until a new heart was found. This patient was in the hospital for over 5 months. A friendship was developed with the patient and the patient's family. It has been over 7 years since this patient received a new heart. We keep in touch and get together whenever possible. What a wonderful surprise I received when this former patient brought me some roses that had the words, "Thanks for my heart" written on the petals.
Nurse's week is a time that my profession is acknowledged. I couldn't think of a better way to say you are appreciated and thanks for all that you do, than with a rose that "speaks."
