Georgia Flowers Gift Baskets Delivered Same Day By Local Florist

The state flower in Georgia is the Cherokee rose. Florists often include use these flowers to create stunning floral arrangements and bouquets. Because this is such a beautiful white flower it is often used in weddings for wedding bouquets and reception decor as well as used to decorate the wedding ceremony itself.

In 1916, with the support of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs, the Cherokee rose was named the state floral emblem. The name "Cherokee Rose" is a local designation derived from the Cherokee Indians who widely distributed the plant. The rose is excessively thorny and generously supplied with leaves of a vivid green. In color, it is waxy white with a large golden center. Blooming time is in the early spring, but favorable conditions will produce, in the fall of the year, a second flowering of this hardy plant.
