We all remember this day... June 25, 2009. Where we were... what we were doing... the smell, sounds, people around us on that fateful day when the world stopped to mourn the loss of Michael Jackson. This year is the 10th anniversary of losing the most inspirational, talented... simply the greatest entertainer and humanitarian the music industry and the world has ever known. There will never be another like the beautiful Michael Jackson!

This year as the ugly liars and frauds shame his memory and attempt to destroy Michael's legacy all for $$$$ and as the media jumps on board once again to believe the deceivers and money grubbers... it is up to us, the MJ fans from around the world, to exhibit this June 25th at Forest Lawn, Glendale, a giant Michael Jackson size show of L.O.V.E.

Let's do this for his children, his family, his legacy...  FOR US!

Let's deliver to Michael's Holly Terrace doorstep over 10,000 Red Freedom Roses of LOVE!

It's a beautiful event that not only blesses Michael and others but also makes a huge statement to the entire world that Michael is LOVED and still in our hearts... no amount of positive PR could say to the media and the world what the roses do on June 25th.

♥ The One Rose event is a unifying and beautiful showing of LOVE for Michael and that LOVE is then 'paid forward' for people in need. I have personally witnessed year after year... over and over again an empty sad face turned to joy when handed Michael's roses. Then when they hear that the roses in their hands are from the One Rose for Michael Jackson their eyes light up even brighter. It is such a blessing... a huge gift for them to feel that someone cares. Some have not received flowers, love or a hug in a very long time. They walk away with a smile on their face, a little lighter in their step and happier in their soul. I feel Michael shines his light on so many sad souls via One Rose.

.இڿڰۣ-ڰۣ—

♥ It's not about the number of roses... never has been...  but always about the love that is given and shared. However; it is fun to take at look at how this event has grown over the years.

Rose count through the years:

The first year anniversary of Michael's passing in 2010... MJ fans sent 3,000 red roses of LOVE to Michael at Holly Terrace...

  Roses, roses, roses... 13,447 Red Freedom Roses of L.O.V.E. for MJJ on June 25th, 2013.

Work on the One Rose for Michael J. Jackson starts in March every year to assure that in June ♪ Everything is coming up roses ♪ for Michael J. Jackson at Holly Terrace, Forest Lawn, Glendale, California. Sadly this year some of those who worked so hard all year and who are normally present for the rose delivery could not be here. We were missing Robyn Starkand, Gi Leclerc and Nicky Rickard due to personal obligations and illness. Although our dear friends were missing there was a wonderful crew there to achieve the successful delivery of the roses for MJJ. We are all volunteers and pour our love, hard work and time into honoring Michael with roses each year. It is a group collaborative effort filled with LOVE and respect for our fallen King.

Again this year, 2013, Michael has shown himself there with us in the midst of the red rose LOVE. Seemingly saying one more time, "Be God's Glow!"
 

     There was no sun shining this day during delivery... This is NOT a reflection.

Red roses now hold such a special meaning for millions of MJ fans around the world. A very special representation of collective, global hearts of LOVE. There was something so unique and special about Michael Jackson and after four years of missing him MJ fans still have a deep desire to give back to him just a little of the giant L.O.V.E. he gave the world. Each year wishing he was still here so he could see how loved he was... and still is. We will never forget Michael J. Jackson and in June of every year it is our time to express that LOVE in thousands of Red Freedom Roses.

Again this year, the fourth year since MJ’s passing, fans globally shared in this wonderful tribute of LOVE for Michael Jackson. Love poured out for Michael via One Rose for Michael J. Jackson and we again were able to blanket Holly Terrace with red  rose LOVE for Michael. No, Michael, we will never forget you! This year the revamped One Rose for Michael J. Jackson group on Face Book and other MJ fans who joined in from around the globe surpassed last years amount. Sending 13,447 red roses for Michael.


The air was cool for a summer day in June when the truck arrived. It was slightly over cast which was a blessing for us and thankfully assured longer freshness for the roses. Dennis our regular delivery driver showed up with a big smile on his face. He and his wife are very honored to take part in the One Rose for MJJ tribute every year and look very forward to it. He is very proud to deliver Passion Growers boxed, bundled and palleted buckets of Red Freedom Roses of love every year. He always stays to see the final placement and take away the debris for a finished and polished set up.

Placing the first bucket of roses is normally Robyn Starkand's privilege and honor. So in that vane with her unable to make it to So. Cal. for the delivery this year both Rachael and myself placed it saying, "Here you are Robyn. This first bucket is for Michael and you!"

One by one the buckets are unpacked and the One Rose volunteer workers place them lovingly for our King at Holly Terrace. There is always a sense of such accomplishment when the task is complete. Hugs all around... lingering in the beauty... absorbing the LOVE. We go and check on the buckets, making sure each one is full of water, just in case some was accidentally spilled in transport. Forest Lawn garden workers have very kindly furnished a long hose for this purpose and it comes in very useful. We each sit back in private moments and just take in the beautiful red carpet for the King.

For those who take part from all over the world, this day, this gift for Michael is truly one time of the year where we can give luxurious beauty to Michael on a grand scale. To show both him and the world that our love for him is steadfast and we will never forget this beautiful human being who brought so much good and joy to the earth.

Crate by crate the fresh brilliant red roses, set in cool buckets of specially treated water are unloaded and unwrapped. The luxurious, healing scent and the brilliant sight are simply breathtaking. This year perhaps because of the slight overcast weather the red color was extremely brilliant. We were able to pack the roses tighter on the walls and patio and stairs giving the buckets of roses a beautiful red hedge look. All the buckets lined up like Michael's little soldiers of LOVE. 
Marcela asks, "How far apart should we place the buckets on the wall, Betty?" My immediate response with a smile, "Seven inches in!"  OF COURSE... we all start quietly singing a little Blood on the Dance Floor while we set up the roses.

I am so honored to be apart of this beautiful event for Michael J. Jackson. Somehow I just know he is smiling down on us approving of our giving in his name to bless others. Not only were we able to give Michael 13,447 red roses but this year our giving grew as roses were matched by MJ fan groups and MJ Face Book pages. We gave more to the One Rose charities than ever before. It's a beautiful thing! Michael proclaimed, "What More Can I Give?" Well this year it was alot more... the LOVE just keeps growing.

The day after the anniversary we were also able to “Pay It Forward” like never before to bless others. Above are all the pictures of the many places roses were shared, delivered and blessed many, many people with smiles and LOVE in Michael's memory. There were people all over the Los Angeles area smiling as they looked at and held Michael's beautiful roses. Yet there were still many, many buckets of roses at Holly Terrace for Michael as well. Yes I do believe Michael was smiling down on us all this day. We LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!

                          ... and the LOVE grows and grows like ripples in the water.  ♥

We made sure to place the one rose for MJ which is traditionally
placed at the door now for 4 years.

We are finished with the delivery. A very emotional time to reflect.
We call Robyn and Sarrah who have worked
so hard on this event and can not be there in person.
They join in the group circle. Tears flow

Each year the red rose numbers grow... clearly the MJ fans want only the best and greatest for Michael.... as only the Best was good enough for him. What will it be next year for the 5th anniversary? Will there be 20,000 roses for MJJ? I surely don’t know... the numbers ever since his passing have been incredible. The roses so very beautiful and every year I am simply astounded and amazed at the amount of LOVE that pours out for Michael at Holly Terrace. What I do know is that no matter the number of roses, whether it be big or small, there is that 'One Rose for MJJ' from each individual person from around the world... and that special, single One Rose means all the LOVE in the world from just one fan for Michael J. Jackson. 



          ♥ We will always be missing you Michael. It’s All For LOVE... L.O.V.E. ♥
