Flower Photo: Red Rose for Fourth of July

Red Rose Photo By Aquariann

Did you know that the rose is the national flower of the USA? The marigold was a popular option in the 1960s, but the US Congress officially passed an act declaring the rose to be the floral emblem of the United States of America in 1986. That's why I'm sharing a red rose photo today. The flower is from my last birthday bouquet, but this weekend calls for another celebration. Happy Independence Day!

How To Plant Your Own Post for Flower Friday:
The only rule to play is that you can only add one link per week! The post doesn't even have to mention flowers, but only ones that do will be eligible for being picked as a feature next week. I will be sharing my flower image on other blog hops, namely Wordless Wednesday, and welcome all family-friendly links from fellow bloggers. Crafters can even link up an Etsy listing or other shop product! But if you want to promote a prize, I suggest adding it to my Giveaway Chest Linky instead to entice more treasure hunters.

Please follow my blog through any of the social media icons in the upper right sidebar to receive a reminder to return next week. Adding my button to your own blog and sharing to your followers is also a fairy appreciated way to help my hop grow.

Other flower hops where I've planted my post this week include Floral Friday Fotos, I Heart Macro, Saturday Show Off and Today's Flower.

  16. It's been a 16 hour, so I am not going to get a chance to find a flower photo to link up with, but I did want to say that I love roses and stargazerlilies I like to make bouquets where I mix them both together! :-)
