Personally, I believe no single holiday should determine an excuse to receive flowers. I buy fresh blooms for myself every other week because I love them and their presence alone makes me happy. So whether or not you have someone special in your life this February 14th, don’t get carried away neglecting the quality of what you send to others or receive for yourself.

The downside to living in NYC is the lack of personal florist shops and a healthy selection to choose from. When holidays come up such as V-Day, the best shops sell out of roses in a heart beat and sadly, the grocery and deli store options don’t stand a chance to survive past a few days. This is why online flower arrangements are one of the most ingenious delivery service ideas around, especially if distance gets in the way of an occasion in which flowers are highly appreciated. I’ve been lucky to receive two hand-picked arrangements from Ode A La Rose flower delivery service and I have to tell you guys, these are by far the prettiest, healthiest and longest-lasting roses I’ve ever had to care for.

Ode A La Rose offers gorgeous rose floral arrangements available throughout areas of the Northeast. For those of you living in Manhattan, same day delivery is a special perk. For all others throughout the Northeast, the next day delivery guarantee is an incredible standard to have available. What makes this small business different from the rest is the specialization in rose care and the outstanding quality of them, not to mention at prices beyond affordable with a delivery pace speedier than any competitor in the area.

So let’s say if you’re looking into ordering from someplace new that has incredible roses guaranteed to not only arrive on time but last for weeks to come (with easy, proper care – instructions included with each order) then there’s no doubt you’ll make that special someone smile even if that lucky lady is yourself. Everyone deserves a gorgeous bouquet of roses.
