CAROL STREAM, IL February 2, 2005 As Valentine's Day approaches,
Mike McGrath, Garden Editor for WTOP News radio in Washington, DC, and
host of the nationally syndicated Public Radio show, "You Bet Your
Garden", tries to get the men in his audience to think beyond the
traditional bouquet of red roses. He tells them, for instance, that in
the Language of Flowers known as the "Floral Code", red tulips
actually mean "I love you" (roses just symbolize love in general), and
that live orchids make a great substitute for roses, which, he notes,
always seem to increase in price dramatically as Feb 14th draws near.
This year, he's adding a new suggestion: LoveIsARose.com's real roses
and orchids preserved in 24kt gold.
"I was intrigued when I heard that the roses being used were real
American-grown flowers," explains McGrath, "so I agreed to look at
some samples. The roses, coated completely in 24-karat gold, look very
nice, but I was really taken by what they call their 'red/gold' rose,
where the stem is coated with real gold, but the flower petals and
leaves are preserved in a clear coating, so you can see the beautiful
natural colors. A lot of men complain to me that roses seem to cost
their weight in gold on Valentine's day; now I can tell them they can
get real gold flowers for about the same price!"
McGrath continues, "The company's 'gilded' orchids are the real show-
stoppers," he continues. "I've always felt that orchids were the most
romantic- looking flower; some are so over the top they're practically
R-rated. The process that LoveIsARose.com has created shows off the
roses' beauty perfectly by presenting the blooms in all their natural
glory, but on 24-karat gold stems. For years I've been suggesting the
gift of a live orchid plant instead of the rose bouquet that everyone
gets on Valentine´s Day, because its much more unique and the blooms
are much more long lasting, but the blooms on these orchids will last
virtually forever!"
"Our roses and orchids are carefully selected, hand-picked, and then
preserved at the peak of their beauty; rest assured, they are real
flowers," assures Sid Fey, owner of LoveIsARose.com. "And because they
are preserved in gold, silver, platinum and enamel, they will look
exactly like the flower they were in full bloom for a very long time."
"The rose has long been a message of love and is the perfect gift for
the special occasions of anniversaries, engagements, weddings,
birthdays, and to celebrate Valentine´s Day," continues Fey. He says
that amongst the Gold Rose Collection, his all-gold roses and red/gold
roses are the best sellers. The preserved roses also come in "Flower
of the Month" natural-petal colors tipped in 24kt gold or platinum. A
preserved rose of a different color can be sent every month of the
year to a special Valentine.
