Love is a Rose Review and Giveaway, Ends TONIGHT!!


LAST CHANCE TO ENTER!



O my Love is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June,
O my Love is like the melody,
That's sweetly played in tune.

I love roses. And I love my Happy Husband. In fact, we are fast approaching our silver (25th) anniversary!
When given the chance to review the beautifully preserved roses from Love Is A Rose, I felt truly blessed!

My love for roses is legendary.  My Nanie grew roses for years and she planted several just outside my bedroom window. The fragrance permeated the air.  So, roses are special to me. In fact, my great-grandmother, mother, an aunt and my youngest daughter ALL have ROSE in their name!

Our History

In 1966, Sid Fey began designing jewelry and consumer products that revolved around families, love, and relationships. So, we welcome you to our site that has gifts which honor your relationships, and celebrate those special occasions that create special memories. On the site are wonderful gifts for a wedding, anniversary, birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Sweetest Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or just to let her know you love her with the gift a gold rose because it's Tuesday.

Our specialty is our exclusive imprinting of your personalized message on the individual petals of our real, preserved roses. We also have vases available with engraved message plates, making our roses the most unique and memorable gift you can give.






I've found so many beautiful creations at Love Is A Rose.  From the exquisite perfectly preserved roses trimmed in gold, silver, and platinum to the personalized wall crosses to the unique sterling silver jewelry, there is truly a gift for everyone and every occasion!

Isn't this Celtic Cross Brooch gorgeous?




I chose to review the absolutely stunning I Love You rose.  It's a heartfelt expression of how I feel about Mike.

The Rose is 11 inches long, trimmed in 24K Gold. The words I Love You are inscribed on the petal. REMEMBER! This is a REAL rose!





Isn't is lovely?  At first, I was afraid to touch it. Roses are fragile. However, this one has, of course, been preserved.  Even though it IS breakable, it should withstand normal handling.  I suggest a shadow box or a lovely Vase.

The rose arrived in a sturdy, corrugated box. Inside was a lovely gold-toned presentation box. The rose was wrapped gently in bubble-wrap.  Very secure packing!


I am so very pleased with my beautiful rose.  It's going to take a place beside my bridal bouquet. Both symbols of the marriage to the man I love.




Roses are special for so many reasons. Did you know that each rose's colour has a meaning? True!
The red rose is the traditional symbol of love and romance.  The blue rose for the unattainable and mysterious!
You can find the meaning of a rose's colour here.
