GM 🌞 The name “Garden Variety Jess” stems from when I spent seven years as a florist.

I learned there are three main types of roses used in floral design: standard variety roses, spray roses, and garden variety roses.

Standard variety roses are the formal roses we all know, with their petals tightly wound around their center. But garden variety roses spiral out toward the sun, opening their heart-centers to welcome pollinators.

May we all spiral open our hearts toward the sun today and every day.
