Root Candles (and a give away!!)

We are now carrying Root candles here at Grandiflora. We are so excited to add this line of great smelling and attractive candles. Just yesterday I picked up a "Gardenia" scented candle to smell, and it was fabulous! You know how Gardenia can sometimes be over the top, too sweet & floral - well, this one was perfect (and I haven't been a Gardenia scent fan!) These candles are not only beautiful, and smell divine, but their price point is awesome too!!

The colors are so varied you would be able to find the perfect candle for any color scheme in your decor. I love these new hues of purple!

Here is what Root has to say about their candles..................
" Perhaps the greatest contribution a company can make is to remain loyal to the truths from which it was founded. At no other time have we been more proud to be an American company that has consistently produced a superior product, for over 130 years, unequaled to any in the world."

The founder Amos Ives Root, was a shining example of the American spirit. He was known as "the father of modern day beekeeping". His contemporaries were the Wright Brothers, of which he was friends. He was also lauded for his humanitarian kindness by an eleven year old Hellen Keller. He was a visionary who believed in others who dared to dream. A.I. Root wrote in 1917, " I looked up at the stars and stripes that were floating in the wind from the flag pole over our company and said, The A.I. Root Company, God permitting, will last for years after A.I .Root, himself , is gone." Talk about vision, and daring to dream. Now in its fifth generation, the Root family continues to extol the virtues of honesty, integrity, and plain old hard work, that exemplifies their company. They are still manufacturing their lovely candles from Medina, Ohio within their beautifully restored original brick building!

Nothing can compare to the quality of a Root candle. Each is carefully handcrafted using processes mastered through five generations of craftsmanship combined with the latest in manufacturing technologies. The results are pure and simple: lasting fragrances, rich colors, longer and cleaner burning, uniquely appealing textures, and honestly the finest candles you can buy.


I love to read about how the company was started with such passion and integrity.
