My suggestion is; send her a beautiful, significantly named rose in a pot, that she can plant out when the weather is better. It'll outlast a bouquet. David Austin roses are gorgeous and come very well packed.0

Snap... I was just about to say this... After my darling mum died we said only family flowers at the funeral, and some friends who shared her love of gardening gave us plants for the garden, and nearly 3 years on we can still enjoy the love that was sent with them

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

I don't think you could go wrong with a 'mixed' flower bouquet. The prob with a bunch of roses or carnations or even chrysanths is that they may have connotations you aren't aware of. I dislike chrysanths as to me they smell of funerals, Roses are not a good choice as her dear husband may have bought them often for her.0
