The design of this stamp was a collaboration between renowned designer Richard Sheaff and photographer Robert Schlowsky, who also worked on the popular 25-cent Love stamp. They carefully selected 10 roses - five red and five yellow - to create a striking and romantic visual, accented by lush green leaves. This design was specifically created for couples sending out wedding invitations, making it a perfect choice for such occasions.
Originally issued on July 8, 1988 by the USPS as part of the beloved "Love Series," these stamps are highly sought after and add a special touch to any letter or card related to love. The first day ceremony for this stamp was held at the American Rose Center in Shreveport, Louisiana, also known as the "world's largest rose garden." This charming stamp embodies the beauty and significance of roses in American culture, making it a must-have for wedding correspondence.
The American Rose Society, founded in 1892, is dedicated to promoting and enjoying America's floral emblem - the rose. With over 24,000 members and headquarters located near Shreveport, Louisiana at the American Rose Center, the society is a prime example of the deep appreciation for roses in American culture. The American Rose Center boasts over 20,000 rose bushes of various varieties, making it a wondrous sight to behold.
