Wishing a sweet and lovely day to all mothers this coming Sunday — filled with simple and special moments with your children and your own mothers if you’re fortunate to still have them with you. To celebrate, we especially wanted to offer you a bouquet of white roses with this classic unforgettable French song about a son’s deep love for his mother – Les Roses Blanches by Bertha Sylva. And don’t forget, France will celebrate its Fête des Mères on June 3rd.

Happy Mother’s Day – Bonne Fête des Mères

Les Rose Blanches (1926) by Bertha Sylva

with Lyrics by Charles L. Pothier and Music by Léon Raiter

The verses of this song is so very touching. Here are just a few of them…

C’est aujourd’hui dimanche – Today is Sunday
Tiens ma jolie maman – Here is for you my pretty mommy
Voici des roses blanches, – Here are some whites roses
Toi qui les aime tant – For you that love them so much
