The Red Rose Florist of Lowestoft has officially opened!

Hi guys it’s Ben here bringing you the low-down on the opening of our new baby and the newest florist in Lowestoft.

We have been totally original and called it The Red Rose Florist :)

If you want to order flowers and balloons for all occasions with same day delivery throughout Lowestoft just call 01502 518555 and let one of our friendly and professional trained florists take care of you!

As you know from my earlier blog posts I’ve been working here a few months now and it still amazes me that some people who come into our HQ think we only sell balloons.  Well now I think they’ll cotton on as we unveil our beautiful new shopfront.

The store front

It’s a project that’s been in the pipeline for a while now ever since we acquired our next door neigbours property and to be honest, we’re ecstatic that it’s finally here.

Customers can now come in and have a walk around selecting the flowers they want and have a bit of a ‘natter’ with the staff. You never know if you’re really lucky you might get a cup of tea as well, how’s that?

Inside the new florists

P.S. We promise to uploa some more pictures soon… Especially at night as it looks lovely!

Say Hello to Ben!!! Our New Employee…

Hi everyone its Ben here AKA Asclepius the God of Healing.

I am the latest recruit of The Red Rose Society and I’m here to make this blog and our websites even better. 

Ive finished my second week and it’s given me a chance to meet the crew and get a feel for the place. My tea making skills have already been given the thumbs up by all concerned which is a great  sign ive been told!

Asclepius - The Greek God of Healing!!!

As i said ive only been here two weeks but already helped the site undergo some fairly big changes, the most noticeable being the multi-column megafooter at the bottom of every page. It offers users quick access to some great areas of our site and google friendly links to hundreds of thousands of pages specific to each county and place name in the whole of the UK.

Not bad for two weeks work  hey! 

I wonder what this week has in store… I hear the Mistletoe and Holly has arrived from Tenbury Wells!

The Great Twitter Experiment!

Hi, everyone, sorry we haven’t blogged for a while, it’s not because we have done nothing, quite the opposite actually. I think if you have to blame someone for our lack of blog posts recently it has to be Twitter!!!

We have so much fun on it, for example we experimented today by giving away 12 red roses… God we know how to have some fun hey!!!

The winner is @gothicat with her winning entry…

I Believe in a thing called Love because
even in the darkness i can feel my partner.
Up in the clouds I’m head over heels in love!!!

(We loved your entry the most because you mentioned ”The Darkness” :) )

Here are just a few of the other entries we loved aswell :-

  • @madmazzy I Believe in a thing called Love because…When my little ‘petal’ say’s “Love you so!”….Life becomes a ‘rosy’ glow!
  • @Girlyougotstyle I believe in a thing called love because it found me at the office coffee machine when all I was looking for was a hot drink <3
  • @NoodlesBoo I Believe in a thing called Love because ?? looooooving you is easy coz your bootifull ?? ? I would be empty without a little love ?
  • @cheekychicken24 I Believe in a thing called Love because it’s what sustains us through the bad times, and makes the good times even sweeter xx
  • @joby14 Because love is the place I come home to and can be happy, young, mad and truly me
  • @cookinmummy  I Believe in a thing called Love because…..It makes my heart beat fast, And my heart beat slow, My first my last, Its all I know x
  • @jenniwren12 I believe in a thing called love because my heart still skips a beat everytime my husband smiles at me
  • @sassyele I Believe in a thing called Love because without Love in the world, it would be a truly miserable place and it keeps you smiling! :-)
  • @KellySee I Believe in a thing called Love because it let’s me know I can wake up in the morning x
  • @katylittlelady I believe in a thing called Love because my husband has done a great job of looking after me since my surgery on Tues! x
  • @danibright  I wake up every morning and turn to the left and sleeping besides me is someone who loves me as much as I love them! soppy but true!
  • @coffeewithkate I believe in a thing called love because I see it in the eyes of my child and I feel it in the arms of my lover every single day.
  • @Englishian I Believe in a thing called Love because Im in Love! You have to be in Love to believe in Love :) <3
  • @Ellen_Stafford I met my darling @NON53N53 via twitter when I was least expecting it. He makes me so happy and is the best. I love him loads x

Well that does bring me rather nicely onto another great Twitter experiment we are running…. Our famous Valentines Day Competwittion over at http://www.AThingCalledLove.org and @SaintVDay
