It's hard to believe that it's almost the end of August. <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/labor-day/">Labor Day</a>, which always falls on a Monday, is two-and-a-half weeks away already. Sadly, for Los Angelinos, that means that summer is practically over. We hope you have something special planned for the Labor Day weekend, and <strong><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a></strong> wants to encourage you ' our customers to add flowers to your Labor Day meal table, whether you're eating inside, having a backyard barbecue, or a beachside picnic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 when President Grover Cleveland signed the bill, creating the law that designated the first Monday of September as the nation's annual Labor Day observance. Efforts to establish a holiday on which to honor America's workers began in 1885 at the municipal level. Two years later, on February 21, 1887, Oregon became the first state to pass legislation declaring that the first Monday of September would be observed as a statewide holiday.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The concept for a Labor Day holiday wasn't something the government came up with; it was an idea that came from workers and the labor unions who fought for them. The last two decades of the 19<sup>th</sup> century marked the heyday of the Industrial Revolution.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/easter/roses-daisies/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-457" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_E9713030651104.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_E9713030651104.jpg 450w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_E9713030651104-270x300.jpg 270w" alt="Mixed flowers" width="450" height="500" loading="lazy" /></a></p>
<p>While it meant huge advances in technology, life for the average American worker was miserable. Most people worked 12-hour days, without any days off, and it wasn't unusual to find young children working in factories, mills, or mines, earning a fraction of what adults earned for the same jobs. This is what inspired the efforts to establish a national holiday to honor laborers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We think that<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/easter/roses-daisies/"><strong> 'A Garden of Grandeur'</strong></a> is the perfect floral arrangement for a summertime picnic. The rustic basket is full of brightly colored seasonal flowers that look like something you'd expect to find in someone's lush flower garden. The basket has a handle to make it easy to carry to your backyard, to the beach, or picnic table elsewhere. For a nice finishing touch, we add decorative raffia bow.</p>

How are you going to celebrate Grandparent?s Day this year?</p>
<p>The Grandparent?s Day holiday falls on the Sunday after Labor Day and provides a time for showing appreciation for our grandparents. This holiday was established officially by President Jimmy Carter in 1979. However, it was actually inspired by a woman named Marian McQuade. Her family had already been blessed with many generations of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and she felt other grandparents like herself would appreciate a special holiday.</p>
<p><strong>Celebrating Grandparent?s Day With Flowers</strong></p>
<p>Flowers are a universal symbol of love, appreciation and care. Giving flowers is an excellent way to celebrate Grandparent?s Day and honor our grandparents, who give us so much unconditional love.</p>
<p><strong>Sunflowers.</strong> The regal sunflower exudes positive energy as it shines like the sun. It makes an impact like few other flowers and is excellent for late summer and early autumn gift giving. <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/keywordSearch.cfm?keyword=sunflowers">The sunflower</a> can be sent in a large bouquet as the ?center of attention,? or blended with other flowers for a colorful, radiant effect.</p>
<p><strong>Lilies.</strong> Lilies are elegant, distinctive and awe-inspiring. They signify hope, positivity and they bring a fresh energy to any room. <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/lilies/">The beautiful lily</a> is also available in a range of styles and colors, including the pink and white stargazer lily, exotic orange Asiatic lilies, and white or pastel trumpet-like calla lilies.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=3085"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-462" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_651020.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_651020.jpg 450w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/08/zoom_651020-278x300.jpg 278w" alt="Whispers of white" width="450" height="486" loading="lazy" /></a><br /><strong>Roses. </strong>The rose is universally known as a symbol of love, affection and care, and it comes in a rainbow of colors to appeal to any taste and style. Consider giving a bouquet that will accent your grandparents? home perfectly, or surprise them with a mixed color bouquet.</p>
<p><strong>Orchids.</strong> Orchids are a popular tropical bloom that immediately bring beauty, elegance and grace to the room. Different species of orchids can showcase different energies and looks due to varied styles and colors. The dendrobium orchid blooms with an abundance of detailed flowers, while the phalaenopsis orchid is known for its elegant tall stalk topped with bright flowers. Giving a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/orchids/">potted orchid</a> will allow your grandparents to enjoy these blooms throughout the year.</p>
<p>Everyone loves getting flowers for a special occasion, so why not surprise your grandparents with a bright bouquet or potted flower this year? Whether you?ll be meeting them out for a social event and want to bring a gift or you?ll be sending your appreciation from across the miles, flowers are sure to bring a smile to their faces.</p>

HOW TO DECORATE FOR OUTDOOR PARTIES

This devastating illness impacts thousands of people every year. The disease is so prevalent that it touches nearly everyone either as a patient themselves or a loved one of a patient.</p>
<p>During breast cancer awareness month, people work hard to teach others about the disease. Although most people know that the disease is common, they might not realize who is at risk or the types of screenings that are necessary. The awareness activities can help remind people to get their screenings done, and early detection helps to save lives.</p>
<p>The color pink has become the color to represent this type of activism and countless people show their support for the cause by using pink to decorate. At French Florist, we have met many people interested in finding the right arrangement to show their support for this wonderful cause. These arrangements can be kept in the home or given as gifts. Here are a few of our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/favorites/">favorites</a>.</p>

<p>There are almost too many occasions for which flowers are called for in winter ' holidays, parties, romantic dinners by the fire. It's no wonder that designs tend to get a little more festive and a lot more luxurious during this season; we're in a good mood, and we want to celebrate.</p>
<p>One of our favorite things about winter flowers here at <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/">French Florist</a> is the palette it introduces into our home. Cold-weather blooms can be bold ' vibrant red roses and splays of evergreen ' or serene, as if taking its cue from the snowy scene elsewhere in the country.</p>
<p><span id="more-1131"></span></p>
<p>It's the latter category we're focusing on in this week's blog. White blooms or those in the neutral realm really refresh your home or office. They don't compete with existing holiday decor either; instead, they add a note of serenity to a space. Look at them and you feel tranquil, an experience you'll have if you pick up our <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/los-angeles-ca-hanukkah-flowers/festival-light/">A Festival Of Lights</a>&nbsp;bouquet.&nbsp;<img src="https://frenchflorist.imgix.net/images/item/FWC10570121206100943.jpg?w=950&amp;auto=format" alt="Lilies and Hydrangea Hanukkah Arrangement" /></p>
<p>These striking <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/lilies/">lilies</a> are set off by blue hydrangea, a gorgeous palette of the classic Hanukkah colors. This could also work as a New Year's centerpiece, or simply as a winter-inspired bouquet in your home. We may not have snow here or icy lakes, but we can certainly recall those pastoral features through our floral decor.</p>

WINTER's BLUE AND WHITE BLOOMS

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/tropical-flowers-los-angeles/" rel="attachment wp-att-606"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-606" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/InSeason-tropical-blog.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/InSeason-tropical-blog.jpg 735w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/InSeason-tropical-blog-300x149.jpg 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/InSeason-tropical-blog-500x248.jpg 500w" alt="Pick the flowers in season" width="735" height="365" loading="lazy" /></a>They say it never rains in southern California, which largely disqualifies us from being a tropical climate. Tropical and sub-tropical ecosystems are characterized by many months of hot temperatures, and shorter periods of heavy rains. But although we may not be tropical, we do love all things sunny, colorful and beautiful ' so the tropical flowers that are trending this season fit right into our lifestyles!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/los-angeles-hawaiian-exotic/" rel="attachment wp-att-603"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-603" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_FW1000935621.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_FW1000935621.jpg 450w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_FW1000935621-285x300.jpg 285w" alt="Flowers" width="450" height="474" loading="lazy" /></a>Perhaps the most recognizable tropical flower is the dramatic <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2882">bird of paradise</a>. The sharp angles, the bold orange color, and the regal stalks make this bloom the perfect star of your arrangement. These confident flowers are emblematic of paradise and are often paired with the royal purple <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/los-angeles-hawaiian-exotic/">dendrobium orchid</a>, an exotic flower whose delicate composition and vivid hue play off the birds of paradise for a striking combination. To further bring the tropics into your home, consider adding anthurium or red ginger to your arrangement. Both of these vibrantly hued, stately flowers stand tall and add a rich red tropical hue. For a completely different aesthetic, layer in some conversation-starting protea or Fuji mums in exotic colors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2882" rel="attachment wp-att-605"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-605" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_AMS124412061374806120910102559-853x1024.jpg" alt="Mixed flowers" width="477" height="571" loading="lazy" /></a>For those looking for a more subtle rain forest feeling, bromeliads are a perfect choice. Quintessentially tropical, yet always appropriate ' potted bromeliads come in several warm colors and make for an attractive and elegant floral display that fits in anywhere.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2889" rel="attachment wp-att-604"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-604" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/05/zoom_AMS1130S11080551731120910110345-853x1024.jpg" alt="Flowers" width="450" height="538" loading="lazy" /></a>In the summer, we all like to dream of being on a warm beach, with a palm tree overhead and a cool drink in our hands. If that dream is not going to become a reality this season, add some gorgeous tropical blooms to your d'cor, sit back, and allow your deck or patio to become your tropical paradise.

THE TREND IS TROPICAL FLOWERS

<div class="entry-content bla">
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-501 size-full" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/10/mail_image_preview-1.png" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/10/mail_image_preview-1.png 620w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/10/mail_image_preview-1-300x145.png 300w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2015/10/mail_image_preview-1-500x242.png 500w" alt="World peace day" width="620" height="300" loading="lazy" /></a>World peace is something everyone on this planet hopes they will experience in their lifetime. While there are seemingly intractable conflicts in various regions around the world, many people on earth remain hopeful that peace is still possible. World Peace Day is a holiday to mark and commemorate this world hope.</p>
<p><strong>Expanding Awareness</strong></p>
<p>World Peace Day will be celebrated on Tuesday, November 17 this year, 2015. While there are other peace-related holidays and memorials throughout the year, this coming November brings a focus on awareness of the importance of world peace before any more violence ensues.</p>
<p>One way the founders suggest celebrating World Peace Day is by driving with your car headlights on throughout the daylight hours as well as the night. Doing so can help to show solidarity with others celebrating the World Peace Day holiday.</p>
<p><strong>Emblems of Peace</strong></p>
<p>Another way to demonstrate your commitment to world peace is by creating and/or displaying images of the crane, dove or swan. These birds are powerful icons of peace throughout the world. Birds of peace can be created via origami or other graphical methods of sharing their image and likeness.</p>
<p>Another powerful way to spread and promote a peaceful sentiment is through flowers. Flowers have been radiating, exuding and symbolizing peace throughout the millennia, and a flower gift can convey a message of goodwill to friends, loved ones and co-workers. Adorning your own home with flowers can also send a message of peaceful energy and intentions.</p>
<p><strong>The Peaceful Allure of Lilies</strong></p>
<p>While just about any flower type can exude peace, <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/lilies/">stately lilies</a> have a particular positive aura about them. White calla lilies bring a pure intention for rebirth, while Asiatic lilies offer a gentle exotic appeal.</p>
<p>A green plant like the <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=308">Peace Lily</a> blooms with white lilies regularly, is easy to care for, and helps cleanse the air. Their presence contributes to the positive energy of their environment on many levels. Stargazer lilies are in a league all their own; their white and pink radiance simultaneously inspires and harmonizes the recipient with peaceful thoughts.</p>
<p><strong>Flower Power</strong></p>
<p>Colorful <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/frenchs-favorite-flowers/">mixed bouquets</a> featuring lilies can be a beautiful World Peace Day gift as well. Tulips, roses and hydrangea as well as autumn flowers like sunflowers and chrysanthemum have an undeniably peaceful spirit.</p>
<p>Although awareness of the need for world peace should be in everyone's consciousness 365 days a year, World Peace Day allows for a time of connecting with like-minded souls who believe peace is possible in our lifetime.</p>
<p>Why not celebrate World Peace Day this November by sending flowers? <a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/">The French Florist</a> is ready to assist you in selecting the perfect floral gifts.</p>

FLOWERS FOR YOUR GUEST BATH

Aside from being exquisite offerings from nature, both the ruby and the delphinium have also been chosen to officially represent birthdays in the month of July ' the first as the birthstone, the second as the birth flower.</p>
<p>As one of only four true gemstones in the world, the ruby holds a special place of distinction. Known as the 'king of stones,' the jewel has been coveted by rulers for thousands of years. Not only was the ruby reported to ward off enemies, invaders and evil spirits ' very important attributes for those in tribal cultures ' a true deep red ruby is exceptionally rare and therefore only royalty and the highest levels of society were deemed worthy of owning one. A person would be gifted with the benefits of the ruby simply by wearing it; qualities which included peace, wealth, good fortune and passion. Legend says that during July, the stone's essence and spiritual powers are heightened.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/product.cfm?iteID=2708"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-631" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_FW1089090116122355.gif" alt="Roses" width="391" height="434" loading="lazy" /></a>Did You Know: Birthstones became popular in 15th century Poland when one was chosen for each month. The list has changed over the centuries but has remained largely unchanged since 1912. Traditionally, wearing the appropriate birthstone in each month would transfer each stone's gifts to the wearer, regardless of <a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/occasions/birthday/">birthday.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.frenchflorist.com/florists/west-hollywood-spring-meadow/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-632" src="https://flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_GAZERBOWL620334.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" srcset="https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_GAZERBOWL620334.jpg 450w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_GAZERBOWL620334-150x150.jpg 150w, https://frenchfloristblog.flowermanager.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2016/06/zoom_GAZERBOWL620334-300x300.jpg 300w" alt="Flowers" width="450" height="450" loading="lazy" /></a>The most valuable ruby is one that exhibits a rich, luxurious red with an overall hint of blue, making it look almost purple in some light. Therefore it is entirely appropriate that the alternate way to celebrate a July birthday is the delicate blue delphinium flower. The expert designers at French Florist can create a unique arrangement that blends the essence of the ruby with the lovely hue of the delphinium, resulting in a personal birthstone / flower inspired bouquet.</p>

<p><br /><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/roses/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Roses</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are the quintessential </span><a href="https://www.frenchflorist.com/flowers/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">flower</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and brighten up any garden by providing big, colorful blooms. They are perennial, so as long as they have the right conditions and are looked after well, they should flower year after year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In our guide for how to plant roses we&rsquo;ll take a look at everything you need to do, including choosing the right location, all the correct tools, and the step-by-step process for planting to ensure you get beautiful blooms.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Where&rsquo;s the best place to plant roses?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Roses need plenty of sun in order to reach their full potential, so choose a spot where they&rsquo;ll receive at least six hours (or ideally more) of direct sunlight. If you live in a location that experiences long, very hot and dry summers, then planting roses somewhere that receives shade later in the day will also help.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Roses will grow in many different types of soil but do prefer loamy soil that is neutral to semi-acidic. If you are planting your roses in soil that is poor or particularly heavy with clay, you can compensate by adding additional compost.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&rsquo;s important to note that a rose's roots will spread quite far - up to a meter wide and a meter deep, so make sure there&rsquo;s plenty of space for them to grow.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Roses need to be watered regularly, however, if the soil doesn&rsquo;t drain well it can lead to damaged roots, so ensure the spot where you intend to plant your roses has adequate drainage.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">When is the best time to plant a rose?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To help your roses establish and bloom during the summer months, you&rsquo;ll want to plant them during the spring after the last frost. Ideal temperatures for planting are between 40 and 60 degrees.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can also plant during the fall months, at least a month (but ideally longer) before the first frost of the year. This enables the plant to establish so it can go dormant during the winter months.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What you&rsquo;ll need</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The tools and equipment you&rsquo;ll need to plant your roses are:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A spade or small shovel</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gloves</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mulch</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bone meal/superphosphate</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Compost (if planting in poor soil or clay)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rose fertilizer (for later)</span></li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to plant roses step by step</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you&rsquo;ve decided on the perfect spot for your roses, have all the correct tools and materials and, most importantly, your new rose plant, you&rsquo;re ready to start planting.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 1: Prepare the area for planting</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Get a good idea of the size of your rose plant's root ball, which may be fairly small (but remember they will grow up to a meter both horizontally and vertically). Use the size of the root ball as a guide for how big you should dig your hole, which should be slightly wider than the root ball. Expect to dig a hole around 18 inches wide by 18 inches deep.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Add a small amount of bone meal or superphosphate to the bottom of the hole, as well as some compost to add additional nutrients.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As we&rsquo;ve already highlighted, ideal temperatures for planting roses are between 40 and 60 degrees. This helps the plant establish itself before the high temperatures of summer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you&rsquo;re planting multiple rose plants, don&rsquo;t overcrowd them. Overcrowding can disrupt airflow and encourage the spread of diseases, and lead to plants fighting for nutrients and moisture from the soil. Make sure there is plenty of space in between each plant.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 2: Prepare the rose plant</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ensure the roots are not tight against the root ball and are hanging loose. This will allow them to become established and grow much quicker.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you&rsquo;re planting an established rose plant, ideally in early spring, slightly prune the canes to help the plant to focus its energy on the roots.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 3: Plant the rose</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Place the root ball in the hole, allowing the roots to spread out. Water the ground, then gradually replace the soil, sprinkling a light layer of bone meal or superphosphate every couple of inches. You may also want to add compost or mulch for additional nutrients. Once all the soil is replaced, ensure that the graft union is buried.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 4: Water the planted rose</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thoroughly water your new rose, and add an inch or two of mulch around the area. You should then water your plant every two days, making sure you don&rsquo;t let it get too dry during long periods of hot weather.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 5: Ongoing care for your rose plant</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once planted, ensuring it receives enough sunlight and water, your roses should establish and grow within eight weeks - sometimes sooner if conditions are ideal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the spring, once the plant starts to leaf, feed it with rose fertilizer. You can continue to do this every few weeks to encourage growth throughout the season (some fertilizers may differ so check the instructions before feeding your roses). You&rsquo;ll then want to stop feeding your roses a month or so before the first frost of the year.</span></p>
