Overview

Global Rose - https://globalrose.com/ - is a floral company that offers wholesale flowers, bouquets, and arrangements. They offer special pre-made products for special occasions, such as weddings and holidays and various life events.

Though their contact information list as being in Miami, in their ‘about’ description they say that they fly their flowers to Miami, and there are multiple grammar and formatting mistakes in both the website and in responses to reviews posted on third-party websites. Several sources say that they are actually based in Columbia, which in and of itself is not surprising,

as many roses and other kinds of flowers grow there for the climate.

Review of Global Rose

Reviews are very polarized. A quick glance shows good ratings of 4+ stars on five websites but

delving deeper shows a large number of unsatisfied customers. Most of the complaints are due to shipping issues, which aren’t necessarily the company’s fault, as the products are shipped via FedEx and not the company themselves - and shipping something so fragile, that’s dependent on specific care requirements like temperature, and that has a comparatively short shelf life, is always going to have at least some problems. On The Knot, at least, Global Rose does address both critical comments and praising comments, and

their explanations for those who have experienced issues do appear to be reasonable and fair. They also operate on Amazon, which adds a bit of authenticity, and

on this platform the majority of reviews are positive. Again, shipping is the main difficulty customers have had,

and this is always going to be a tough point for such a large floral company that doesn’t handle this aspect of business themselves. They do their best to prevent complications on their end by not harvesting blooms until absolutely needed for their delivery, attempting to package them as protectively as possible, and making sure that they get their flowers to FedEx facilities on refrigerated trucks; they also have policies to help address things as they arise.

Final Opinion for Global Rose

There are a few threads about whether or not the company is a scam, but I feel that I would be comfortable ordering from them. When ordering from any new company,I wouldn’t necessarily spend hundreds of dollars the first time, but I’d definitely be okay purchasing something and giving them a shot. Global Rose seems like a legitimate company, and they seem to have a passion for flowers.

QUARANTINE FLOWERS:

The world pandemic has changed everyone's life in one or the other way. So much has changed in these 2 years, some lost their jobs,

Some lost their loved ones from this illness, and more or less it affected every single person worldwide. It is already not easy to be sick but on top of that you have to isolate yourself from everyone and everything and to only think about that gives us anxiety. For someone who is going through this situation,

here is a small guide on how to make their quarantine a little better and bring joy to their life.

Giving gifts is always the best way to express your emotions and that you care for that person. Sending them homemade food is always the best option and with that adding a bunch of flowers can bring a smile to their faces.

HOW TO CHOOSE FLOWERS?

If your partner gets sick and they have to isolate themselves in a room and that’s not easy for anyone, to cheer them up a little you can arrange a cute little care package for them, that includes roses or you can mix roses with any fresh seasonal flowers and make a beautiful bouquet for them with a handwritten note letting them know that you care about them. And some chocolates, nobody can go wrong with some sweets. If you want to send flowers to your friends or family who are unwell you have a variety to choose from,

but sunflowers are a good option and are known to be happy flowers and bring joy to the receiver. Their bright yellow petals are the perfect get-well-soon gift.

Gifts in Isolation- The last couple of years have been very unique, and very uniquely difficult. Every single person I know has been in isolation multiple times, and it’s definitely taking its toll, even among us introverts; there’s something different about being forced to isolate versus choosing to isolate, at least for me. And in my experience, one way to make such a situation a little bit more bearable is to give a gift. 

More

Actively choosing to think about others, especially during times of suffering, is not the easiest, but believe it or not, it’s actually one of the most beneficial things you could do. Research shows that social connection and meaningful relationships, including the act of giving to others,

improve our mental and even physical health and activate the reward/pleasure systems in our brains,

which makes us feel good. Beyond just helping us to cope with stress, giving and tending to others can promote your satisfaction with life and give you a sense of purpose, and it can help foster a better perspective on your own situation. Clearly, during rough periods of life, escaping a self-focused outlook and preoccupation with ourselves and our problems to turn our attention outward can make all the difference.

Flowers are a wonderful gift to give (and to receive!) There’s a reason the giving of flowers and the prevalence of them among some of the most important events in our lives - weddings, and funerals are such an important traditions. Flowers connect us with emotion, with other people. They’re appropriate for every occasion and every age. Science has proven that flowers boost mood and improve spirits, and some can even promote a restful night’s sleep. What better way to reduce your stress than by helping someone else reduce theirs? The flowers have become so easy to purchase and send, you don’t have to do any of it in person,

which makes them the perfect isolated present.

Buying Flowers- Some things in life are easier than others. Dribbling a basketball is easy; dunking is not. Tying your shoes is easy; unhinging a bra while kissing is not.

You have to do a lot of things that are difficult: Get up and go to work, sit patiently in traffic, say you’re sorry when you don’t feel sorry. It may feel daunting to think of adding “buy flowers” to that already long list of difficult missions. But the truth is, buying flowers is one of the most practical things you can do. Consider the following:

You Don’t Have to Pick Them Yourself

Sure, you could if you wanted to. Drive to an open field, dance like The Sound of Music. Or snatch them out of a bed outside of your local Hardee’s.

But buying flowers means they’ve already been planted, fed, picked, and arranged. All you need is your wallet. Speaking of which...

They’re Universal, Yet Unique

Some women hate jewelry, others hate candy. Some don’t care for a fancy dinner, others won’t be impressed by a beach vacation. But nary a woman doesn’t love at least one kind of flower. There’s a reliability to flowers, which are familiar, yet individualized. Flowers are a universal language, and yet at the same time, each bouquet is its own gesture. No two are the same.

Flowers are Economical

Some gifts are too extravagant, like a pearl necklace. Some are too cheap, like a shot glass in a bikini. Flowers are affordable, but classy if done right. While they all eventually whither, the look on a woman’s face upon presentation is priceless. Combine the first impression, the look, and the smell of roses on a table, and you’re looking at money well spent.

Perfect For When You’re in a Bind

When you’re looking for a last-minute gift idea, you may not have time to take the children to sculpt and glaze their own pottery creations for their dear sweet mother. You also don’t have time to run to Pier One and try to hunt for a matching whatchamacallit to go with that whose-what’s-it she has in the living room.

But what you know is that the flower shop is right where you left it. And since the last bouquet you bought died, you know she’d love another one. You know you would do the same thing if it were a puppy.

It’s the Thought That Counts

Even when she can tell you forgot that special day, even when she never asked for flowers, even when you can’t figure out what she wants, even when you screwed up and flowers alone won’t fix it—know that you have to start somewhere. In those times when you hit rock bottom in the general area of getting her something to show you care, flowers will still be there, because flowers show that you care.

You thought of her. And sometimes that’s practically all you need to show.

Winter Flowers

Winter is commonly thought of as the season without colorful flowers and plant life. In colder parts of the world, it is referred to as the "dead period", in which nothing but white and cold is visible. However, did you know that may winter flowers are perfect for non-winter seasons? This is because most winter flowers are not exposed to much sunlight throughout the winter season, so they thrive in damp and shady areas.

Snowdrops

There isn't a better analogy for family togetherness and comfort in the world of gardening than the winter Snowdrops. This is because these flowers clump together in shady areas to keep each other hydrated. Once they clump together, they create a picture perfect fullness which can make your garden look like a snowy forest trail. For the proverbial cherry on top, the tops of the flowers droop down like little bulbs.

Gardening

Being winter flowers, Snowdrops require minimal effort when it comes to planting. All they need is for the soil to be loosen and then planted with compost or dried manure and granular fertilizer. Make sure to blend the soil and fertilizer together, so there are no clumps. The Snowdrops need the blending of the soil to be able to freely move to clump together with the mother bulb in offsets.

Where To Plant?

Due to the season that these plants thrive in, they require little of the sunlight that seasoned flowers require, but they do require an abundance of rain and general water source to stay hydrated. There is no such thing as over watering when it comes to Snowdrops! One thing to keep in though; Snowdrops are dormant during the warmer Spring and Summer Seasons and go into a sort of flower hibernation during those times. Because of this, you must be very careful to keep from uprooting these petite pretties when planting and maintaining your Summer and Spring flowers.

small business gift- Imagine this. You suddenly decide on a career change in your 40s.  You’ve known nothing else for these years while you perfected your 9-5 but now during the lock-down, you had something inside of you telling you to try something new that will make both you and your customers happy and need to take a leap of faith for this one. 

You tell your friends and family, and you don’t exactly get the support you were looking for and people are starting to fill your head with doubts rather than encouragement, but you get ready for the next day anyways. 

Ready to take on trying to promote and sell your amazing products to your people, someone knocks on the door, and it’s a delivery truck. Someone sent you a vibrant bouquet of beautifully arranged flowers with a note that says

“Keep going love, don’t give up!”. 

It makes you tear up a bit and anytime throughout the rest of the week whenever you feel a little down, you look over at those flowers and remember “I can do this, and people I love support me and believe in me”.

Why gift flowers to a small business?

In this time of COVID, a lot of people have decided to follow their dreams, find their passion, and open a small business.  This means high levels of stress, long hours, and a lot of creativity.  How do you tell someone how proud you are of them? How filled of joy you are that they are going after what they always wanted in their life and that shows them how much you support them on their journey?  That’s right, flowers!

What color flowers should I get them?

This is someone looking for encouragement and motivation in those flowers.  When choosing the perfect ones, in this case, think of their favorites first and work with that.  IF they don’t have a favorite or you’re thinking something else may work better then start here.  Try to work with lighter colors when picking flowers as it can help brighten up their workspace.  Light pastels remind people of spring and new starts and warm colors bring the feeling of fall and comfort.

What type of flowers to give them? 

A dozen of their favorites will definitely bring a smile to their face but if they don’t have a favorite, Carnations, Roses, Lilies,  or Hydrangeas are all great choices for pieces in a bouquet that will surely bring a smile to their face every time they see it!

Love and Romance- You know that feeling when you look into your partner’s eyes and you get lost in the ocean of beauty that is them? The two stars that they have for eyes that make every problem disappear at the moment and you become enveloped in complete calm and safety as they wrap their arms around you to pull you close for a hug. Sometimes you’re at work and that’s all you can think of; their smile, the way they hug you,

and just the way you become so overwhelmed with the amount of love you feel anytime you’re around them. 

You just count down the minutes until the workday is done so you can call them and hear their voice and think of what to do to show this beautiful and amazing human just how much you love them.  So what do you do?

There are so many good options out there to express how much you love your person. You can cook them dinner, have a unique date night such as a paint night, or stargaze in the backyard.

 or even cozy up and watch the new Spiderman Movie! But sometimes, you want to do something in between that step, a little extra nudge to show your person the love they deserve, and what better way to do that than to bring flowers to them?

Why flowers?

Flowers are a timeless symbol of romance and appreciation for the person you love and will give a constant reminder for a few weeks of how much you love them!

What if you’re long-distance?

The great part about flowers is that you can set up a long-distance flower delivery so you can send them a text of 2D flowers and then surprise them with the real thing!

What type of flowers should you give?

Red roses are always the classic flower for romance but there are others you can send!  Start with their favorite flower and if they don’t have a preference then move on to one of these.   Along with roses, you can send them Tulips, Daisies, Orchids, Gerbera Daisies, or Hydrangeas.  All these flowers will be well received in deep red, pastels, or any soft shades of blue.

Can I buy flowers for a guy?

Absolutely! Which human wouldn’t love a single rose or even a dozen of fresh flowers of which their vibrant

and charming colors and shape remind you of your partner’s amazing and lovable personality!

Flower Spotlight: Glamorous Gladiolus-

Picture this: you’re in the amphitheater of Rome’s Colosseum in its heyday. Looking up, you see the crowd cheering in an uncontrollable frenzy. After intense battles, you’re the last one standing. Members of the audience throw at you, with all their might, spear-shaped flowers of every color. You collect a few and thrust them into the air in victory. Yours is the right to live another day.

How did gladiolus get their name?

As you might have already guessed, these flowers were gladiolus, more commonly known as “sword lilies” although this vernacular name can be a little misleading. They actually belong to the iris family. They got their name from the Latin gladius, meaning sword. Given their long and imposing shape, and their close ties with history’s fiercest warriors, these perennial flowers symbolize courage, strength, and pride.

Southern and tropical Africa is the native home of the gladiolus, and where the most diversity in the cultivars can be found. Nevertheless, there are varieties that have successfully adapted to the natural terrain of the Mediterranean and of south-east Asia, where they can be found in the wild.

Can gladiolus be kept as garden flowers?

Emerging from their underground corm, gladiola plants produce one to nine non-branched sword-shaped leaves that guard at its center spikes that unilaterally produce gorgeous 3 inch funnel-shaped flowers of varying colors, ranging from white to orange or purple; plain or with special patterns or markings. But don’t be fool by their beauty. These flowers are low maintenance, requiring only a few hours of sunlight, and their soil remains moist during the growing season. They are extremely hardy: some varieties are resistant to rough winters of up to -15 degrees. If you decide to dig up the gladiolus corms just to be on the safe side, do so in the autumn after the leaves have died out, and replant them in the early spring for best results.

The corms produce smaller cormlets over time. Occasionally, divide these clumps while the corm is dormant to keep the plants vigorous. The smaller corms can be plant the following season, but it may take a while for them to reach maturity and start producing flowers.

What about gladiolus as cut-flowers?

They also make impressive cut-flowers for centerpieces or elegant bouquets when paired with dahlias and peonies, but a word of warning: they can be toxic to your dog, cat, or horse companions.
