It may be a little late to do your first pruning, but still some great advice on pruning your roses.

Doug McBride of Des Moines, IA has been kind enough to give us the 411 on wedding photography. It’s a vital part of your wedding and here’s some great information on how to find a great photographer to make sure you can relive that wonderful day.

Here’s all you need to know in selecting your wedding flowers.  We give you the run down on current styles and favorites, and no matter where you are or who you use, at least give Boesen a though when you choose your wedding flowers.

I stumbled into this pretty cool YouTube video showing how to make Hershey Roses. While they certainly don’t replace the beauty and fragrance of a real rose, it could be a great idea for little party favors. Maybe you should stop by on Fridays, pick up some two for one roses at any of our locations and mix it in with a few tasty Hershey roses to give someone a fun and edible surprise.

The hardest thing about having a loved one work at Boesen the Florist is that you can’t just send them flowers on Valentine’s Day. Well this year one of our employee’s husband sent a very special Valentines in the form of a Singing Telegram. Watch below!

While there may be six more weeks of Winter we’d like to offer a little Spring to brighten up the rest of the season. Today only we are offering one of our top sellers and a beautiful Spring arrangement, Citrus, for only $39.95 in store down from $65.00. Or have it delivered for just $46.98.  Visit us online here to send it to someone special or just give us a call or stop on by. We’d love to make your last six weeks of winter brighter.

This year Lessing-Flynn ad agency put together their first, now annual, Commenter of the Year awards. In the race were many of our favorite online friends in the Des Moines area and we were excited to be a part of it as a sponsor. We donated a bouquet of flowers to the winner. Below you can watch the brief video Lessing-Flynn put together to commemerate/announce the winner of the COTY awards for 2009.

As you’ve seen from recent posts and updates we’re working with the Pet Project Midwest with a winter pet drive.  I had no clue who they were and I’ve never even heard of anyone ever doing a pet drive which is why Holly’s story is so exciting for me.  Feel free to watch below why Boesen is THE Des Moines florist serving everyone, nationwide.
