Speaking Roses Granted Another Patent for Advanced Flower Printer Technology

Speaking Roses International, Inc. (OTCBB:SRII), the
company that invented flower embossing technology, today announced
that it was granted its latest of a series of filed patents covering
apparatus and process usage. This patent further strengthens its
market-leading position as the sole provider of personalized floral
products.
   "The newest of Speaking Roses' stable of patent applications to
mature to grant (7,089,860) covers the computer generation of
electronic images, the sending of those images to a printing device,
printing the image on to a cliche, inking the cliche and printing the
image on to a flower," states Michael Kreiger, Patent Counsel for
Speaking Roses. "This patent falls between the earlier patents
covering engraving of a cliche and the newer patents covering direct
ink application from a printer to the flower."
   "This new patent is a step forward in protecting our business from
others copying the printing methods we developed for flowers and
plants," stated Ted Lassetter, Speaking Roses CEO. "The first patent
issued in April 2005 protects the printing apparatus; we now have the
process protected as well."
   In addition to life's everyday special occasions Speaking Roses
have been used for high-profile events, including, Hollywood awards
shows, celebrity birthdays, and major sporting events. Speaking Roses
products can be purchased directly online at www.speakingroses.com, or
