Do you know the legend? Here is a summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Legend has it that many, many years ago, outside the Catalan town called of Montblanc, lived a dragon in a cave. The townsfolk lived in terror. To satisfy his appetite, realising they weren&#8217;t a match for the dragon, they decided to deliver one person every day, that would be chosen in a draw. One day, bad luck befell the kingdom and the princess was the one who was to be surrendered to the dragon. But when the princess set off towards the cave, a knight in golden armour showed up with his spear and used it to kill the dragon saving the princess and the town. From the blood the dragon shed, sprouted the most beautiful rose bush anyone had ever seen. Sant Jordi picked the reddest of the roses and gave it to the princess.<\/p>\n<p>This legend is where the rose-giving tradition as a symbol of love came from.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_have_an_idea_to_make_it_a_little_more_original%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>We have an idea to make it a little more original&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example to show how pretty the roses look in one of our boxes for flowers!<\/p>\n<p><iframe  loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0-ulYlbghoM\" width=\"753\" height=\"424\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"img-responsive minVideo\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nIf as well as creative you are also quite handy, these DIY rose options are perfect for you.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2273 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/FOTO-POST-1.jpg\" alt=\"foto-rosas-santjordi\" width=\"753\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/FOTO-POST-1.jpg 753w, https:\/\/selfpackaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/FOTO-POST-1-300x162.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_about_the_books\"><\/span>How about the books?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well, Sant Jordi coincides with the World Book Day.
