This post is titled “about blooming time” because it’s about blooming time we decided upon the winner of our “I Love Eros Day because…..” competition.

It’s been nearly 3 months since August the 14th and all of the Rockmantic Godsarians of Love (AKA all the staff of The Red Rose Society) have sufficiently recovered enough from our annual Eros Day bash (Except for Zeus that is, who still has a sore head) to pick the winner of our wonderfully exciting, romantic, original and sweet Eros Day 2011 competition.

However before we announce the winner please allow us to say a really big THANK YOU to each and every one of you who entered this year, unfortunately there can only be one winner and…. Drums Rolls please…… It’s the very lucky and lovely Gail Lowery, who won despite a few tantrums and thunder bolts being thrown out of the aforementioned pram of Zeus.

Gail won because her acronyminal (is that a word?) entry nailed the very essence and meaning of Eros Day for us with her blooming better late than never winning entry below:

I Love Eros Day Because… its Exciting Romantic Original & Sweet!!!!

Thankyou Gail, you have won a tantalisingly wonderful year of gifts and don’t forget like Psyche herself you are in our eyes immortalized forever and it goes without saying of course but you are invited and your +1 to all our future Eros Day bashes on the 14th of August on top of Mount Olympus every year… See you there… if you a dare!!!

Anyway that’s all folks, our Eros Day 2011 competition is officially over for another year, long live our Valentines Day 2012 competition.

Hello mere Mortels,

We are only just emerging from Mount Olympus (rather hung over of course) from our 10th Eros Day celebrations held on August the 14th 2011. It was one Tartarus of a Party that’s for sure and next year everyone who entered below is invited :-

Tracy Jewkes

Her twitter name is @rockystar and we choose her entry above all others because hers explanation was simple yet perfectly formed and she was the only one (except our own entries) to include a smiley face at the end

Trays entry is as follows :-

Love is… All I Need

We know your going to enjoy your lifetime of roses

14th of August 2010 is…

Eros Day

Enter this years Eros Day twitter friendly Love is… competition with or without a twitter account.

Our Eros Day 2010 competition first rocked onto the scene in 2002 and since then we have run a competition every year since including 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. We hope one day in years to come that Eros Day will rival Saint Valentines Day as the most romantic day of the year!

Where does the time fly… Our last post was Mothers Day and crikey it’s nearly the FIFA Football World Cup!

Come on Lads… Do it for England… Believe in a thing called Winning

And score a few goals of your own by sending a bunch of England World Cup Winning Roses :-

New colour choice available is :-

Mix of Red and White roses
1 Red Rose and the rest in White
1 White Rose and the rest in Red

They are the perfect way for any England football fan to show (even though the World Cup is on and they are down the pub more than ever) that they are still thinking about you and love you very much

Anyway enough of that… Do you like our new look blog, we have been pruning it and integrating our Eros Day and Valentines Day twitter competitions to work with it and alongside our TRRS twitter page!

It’s going to be quite snazzy when we get finished, so please excuse the mess and any broken links will soon be fixed

Kindest Regards
From one English Rose to another!

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!

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! 

         Our    Winners

Our 3rd official Eros Day Twitter friendly Competwittion has come to an end and so unfortunatly has our Eros Day Party so that means the only thing left to do is announce who all our lucky winners are.

So here goes… Ladies and Gentleman and to any Immortals out there reading this… please be standing for the 10 most happiest mortals alive today…

1st Place goes to @AlisonClifford A.K.A. Tyche the Goddess of Good Fortune and wow, how appropriate is that considering that she has just won our 1st Prize of a lifetime of rose related gifts from us with your winning entry :-

2nd Prize goes to Tim Delbart A.K.A. Helios the Sun God with his winning entry :-

3rd Prize goes to @danibright A.K.A. Pandia the Goddess of the Full Moon with her winning entry :-

4th Prize goes to Caroline Eccles :-

5th Prize goes to Helen P Siddall :-

6th Prize goes to @petsinitaly :-

7th Prize goes to Elizabeth Perring :-

8th Prize goes to @juneski :-

9th Prize goes to Phil Darling :-

10th Prize goes to Darren Baldwinson :-

P.P.P.S. Our next competwittion is on St Valentines Day… But we will save that for another Post

All you have to do is tell us why you think Eros Day on August the 14th (Exactly 6 months later than St Valentines Day) is the most romantic day of the year.

You can enter with or without a Twitter account by the way!

Here are just some of the entries we have received this morning. 

• My #ErosDay entry is: it is has not been ruined by the card companies, and there is not as much “expectation” of horribly expensive gifts!
• My #ErosDay entry is: St Valentine – stern looking beardy weirdy Eros – cute, perky-buttocked youth, the son of Aphrodite to boot! No c ……
• My #ErosDay entry is: Romance should be from the heart, Eros day is stubble a reminder of that unlike the money grabbing aim of Valentin …
• My #ErosDay entry is: Eros means Love and Cupids;St Valentine’s Day has a massacre named after it. No contest.
• My #ErosDay entry is: A rose by any other name always smells sweeter when bathed in summer sun rather than the cold chill of winter
