The Bronx Flowers

New York’s state flower is the rose. Adopted by the New York State Legislature in 1955, it’s perhaps appropriate that this most prominent of flowers was chosen to represent such a prominent place. Roses generally grow well in New York, particularly the hardier varieties. The Bronx is home to one of the prettiest rose gardens in New York City, the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden, located within the New York Botanical Gardens. Visit between May and October to see nearly 650 rose varieties in bloom.

Given that the rose is the state flower, a lush bouquet of this iconic flower is a wonderful choice. If you’re looking to express love and passion, choose a red rose arrangement for your special someone. Yellow roses are a perfect way to let a friend know you’re thinking of them, and pink roses are the perfect way to say thank you. The day lily replaced the corpse flower as the official flower of the Bronx in 2000, so an arrangement featuring some lovely lilies is also a great choice for the Bronx.
