Can I give roses from my garden to anyone?

Question

I have a fairly large rose garden and have to cut flowers before they make seeds so that they keep blooming. They are dozens of beautiful pink and red fragrant rose stems in full bloom, and I hate to throw them away. Can I just give to just friends or co-workers for no reason? Do you think they make some second guess? Or will they be annoyed?

Answer 1

put a sign in your yard saying roses12.99 a dozen, and sell them

Answer 2

I think that giving your beautiful roses to people is a wonderful idea. I don't that someone might think of something else, but you could ask if anyone would like some roses to decorate their house, or desk with to make sure that they are not allergic to the smell. You could also cut them and take them to your church to decorate the altar with. You could put some in the back of church for people to take home with them. It is a very lovely idea and I wish my roses were so plentiful, but they are only a few months old. Good luck.

Answer 3

I think that if you give them to lots of people together, you'll be alright. People might second guess if they feel they are the only one receiving the roses.

Also, make yourself clear as to why they're getting the roses.

A better option may be to put them into a large vase or a few vases and put them in common areas around your workplace: the lunch table, the receptionist's desk, etc. That way, nobody has to worry about romantic intentions.

Good luck. Wish my roses grew that well!

Answer 4

I have an English garden. I have the most beautiful roses any where.I always give my roses on special occasion. I arrange them in a beautiful vase, and they are more special then any of those frozen ones you get at the florist.

Answer 5

Are you kidding? Anyone (who likes flowers) would be thrilled to receive them. I don't have roses, but I have lilacs and peonies and I always take some to work and give them to my co-workers and they love them. I also give them to some of our senior customers and they really appreciate the thought. I work in a pharmacy so we have quite a few seniors and it just makes their day.

Give them to whomever you feel would enjoy them and enjoy making someone's day.

Answer 6

Yes,
you can even take them to a nursing home and explain to the staff the reason why you are bringing them there many of the residents would love fresh flowers in their rooms, or in the community rooms, if you have any children's hospitals they would them also.

Answer 7

I would think anyone would appreciate roses. But, also you may want to consider taking them into a hospital or a nursing home! That's one way to be sure they are enjoyed.

Answer 8

Yes! However, I think that it would be good for you to explain where the roses come from, and why you are giving them (namely, because there is an abundance of them, rather than your trying to seduce the recipient).

Answer 9

You can pass along a bouquet with a smile and say, "I grew these, and I hope you and the other people who see and smell them like them as much as I do."

If you hand out several, so they spring up all over the office, everyone will praise your roses, and you won't be socially awkward.

Answer 10

If you are not giving them for sentimental reasons, you can just put them in a common area at your job with a little note telling everyone that they are free & you cut them from your very own garden. ~That is so nice of you.~

Answer 11

What a lovely thought! I'll bet the only ones who wouldn't be delighted would be the ones who were allergic to roses. For everyone else, it would brighten their day!
