August has officially arrived, bringing golden sunshine, long summer evenings, and some of the vibrant floral stems of the season! At The Crate, we believe there’s always a reason to send flowers—whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, sending a bit of strength, or simply brightening up your own kitchen table.
To mark the start of the new month, we’ve put together a show-stopping collection for The Bunch of the Week, complete with an exclusive August offer and our star bloom: the bold, elegant Rose Gladiolus.
What’s Inside This Week’s Bunch?
Our floral designers have curated a rich, texturized mix of late-summer blooms paired with airy seasonal greens.
Here is what’s inside your bouquet this week:
-
Rose Gladiolus: Our official Flower of the Week, bringing height, grandeur, and rich pink tones.
-
Heliopsis Asahi Yellow: Pops of cheerful, golden color reminiscent of bright August sunshine.
-
Gerbera: Friendly, open blooms that add instant joy to any arrangement.
-
Petit Chablis & Ramonda Roses: Soft, romantic garden roses that soften the bouquet with sweet texture.
-
Aster & Charmelia Alstroemeria: Delicate, multi-blooming filler stems that create movement and lasting beauty.
-
Asparagus Fern: Feathery green foliage that frames every stem perfectly.
Flower of the Week: What Does the Rose Gladiolus Symbolise?
Standing tall with its dramatic, towering stem of multiple blooms, the Gladiolus gets its name from the Latin word gladius, meaning sword. Historically given to Roman gladiators, this striking flower carries deep, meaningful symbolism that makes it far more than just a pretty bloom.
Gladiolus Symbolism:
Strength of Character & Integrity: Perfect for sending encouragement or celebrating someone who has achieved a major personal milestone.
Infatuation & Passion: In floral history, sending a gladiolus was a subtle way of telling someone they’ve pierced your heart.
Remembrance & Generosity: A timeless choice when you want to let someone know they are warmly in your thoughts.
When styled in rose pink, the gladiolus balances its strong structure with warmth, grace, and heartfelt affection.
