There aren’t many products where your first thought is, “How the heck did they do that?!” Yet, that’s basically the reaction people have the first time they see flowers from Inscribed Roses.!

Inscribed Roses are literally that: real roses in any color with customized messages (and even pictures) on them. It’s no wonder the company also goes by Speaking Roses of Omaha; these are flowers that tell a story.

That story begins when Harish Keshwani gave an Inscribed Rose to his wife, company president Natasha Keshwani, as an anniversary present. As she describes in the video below, she was so excited to receive the wonderfully personalized gift that she decided to bring the product to Omaha and allow others to give a Speaking Rose, as well.

Operating through their website and a growing network of florists, Inscribed Roses begins by importing the highest quality fresh roses. Then, their craftsmen use a little art, a little science, a dash of magic, and a few patents to write your custom message directly on the rose.

These roses are perfect when you need a gift as special as the person you are giving them to, and like any flower, they

can be preserved to last a lifetime (we’re picturing a Will You Marry Me? rose and a keepsake she’ll cherish forever, but really anything’s possible).

Because they can be scripted not only with custom phrases, but pictures, as well, these roses are an ideal gift when you want to give the friends and family that attended your child’s Baptism or Bat Mitzvah a special gift to remember you by.

Corporate clients simply can’t find a way of spreading their brand or logo in a more beautiful way than giving these roses to clients or meeting and seminar attendees.

Inscribed Roses ships anywhere in the US via FedEx overnight and will deliver same day in the Omaha-Council Bluffs area for orders placed before 11am. Florists, contact them to add their unique flowers to your store!

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine’s Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first ‘valentine’ greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor’s daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed ‘From your Valentine,’ an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It’s no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

While some believe that Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or burial — which probably occurred around 270 A.D — others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to ‘christianize’ celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. In ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was considered a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed by sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat called spelt throughout their interiors. Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.
