yellow roses are for safe return i thought for soldiers, or people who are away , signifying youll wait for their return

The whole thing sounded great. Wish I could have made it, my thoughts were with you all even though I was not. Jo

Hi She, Was lovely to meet you too. Amazing that we only live a few miles apart yet meet so many miles away! Ah well, the day was well worth the journey. See you next year!!! Jack x

Any tips on how best to preserve it. Mine's in a little vase of water next to the computer at the moment but I would like to keep it forever. Thanks Gaynor and Rob for the lovely gesture, I also checked out the website on the back on the card and was genuinely impressed, loved the photos. Carolyn

Mine is here in the computer room so I see it every day! Lovely idea to wear them all next year, or indeed at any GR get together. nell

At the Bucks meet Gaynor and Rob gave everyone a beautiful yellow rose with an ivy leaf at each side - really thoughtful and most appreciated - the meaning of them - yellow roses are for friendship and ivy symbolises friendship and fidelity - my rose is now being preserved - for eternity - and I will bring it with me to next years meet too. much love to all I met yesterday She xx
