During the student’s Graduation Day, those who have successfully completed their matriculation exams as well as those advancing one class up receive flowers from family and friends. Parties are also held all around the country. “When guests come for the graduation parties, it is tradition for them to give a rose. Of course closer persons & parents might give a bunch of roses,” says Timo.
“We always have very high expectations as it is a very good day for our shop since we supply many schools with roses & also make a lot arrangements for schools.” he adds.
Timo says that Porta Nova Red Naomi roses are a great choice for graduation because of the size & quality. Most of the arrangements by Piilola arrangements are a bit bigger (in size) as they are used in schools. Some people also buy table arrangements for their homes if they are hosting a graduation party.
