Send Roses! They Say It All!

Roses have many messages to share. Throughout history, they have been invested with subtle - and not so subtle - meaning in many ways. From color to type to number, you can surely always say it with roses. They are fragrant, beautiful, elegant messengers of love for Valentine's day and every day.

A bouquet of red and white roses sends a message of loyal, lasting, true love!

To say…

• “I’m grateful!” Send a beautiful bouquet of fresh roses.
• “I still love you!” Send a single rose. A single rose symbolizes intimacy - a private and personal message. Be sure to personalize the depth of your feeling by choosing a color and type that will truly convey your message.
• “The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart.” Anonymous

“You are still young and beautiful to me!” Send a delicate bouquet of rosebuds.

“I loved you the moment I saw you!” A lavender rose with thorns removed should do the trick.

• “You are a valued friend and colleague!“ Send a bouquet of light pastel tones to express sociability and friendship.
• "You are my dearest friend!" A beautiful bouquet of yellow roses sends warmth, sunshine and happiness to valued friends.
• “You are my best friend, and I wish you were more!” A lively orange bouquet could convey a wish to turn a friendship into a romance!

A dozen roses symbolize completeness. Twelve is a very meaningful number in most cultures. It reflects the hours on the face of a clock, the months in a year, the signs of the zodiac. The number twelve is so consistently in use cross-culturally, throughout history that it carries the weight of meaning and importance. So a bouquet of beautiful flowers can bring a deep and sincere message of trust and commitment if it consists of twelve blossoms.

Twenty four roses carry twice the weight. There are twenty four hours in a day. Giving a bouquet of two dozen roses implies that you think of the recipient in each of those hours. Twenty four karat gold is prized and carries a promise. The promise carried by the number twenty four is one of complete devotion. When you give two dozen roses, you are saying, “I belong to you!”

...be sure to add chocolate to your roses! It is not just a myth that rich, dark chocolate increases mid-brain serotonin levels and produces endorphins that create a sense of well-being and even romance!

For a truly successful romantic message, you will want to be sure to seal it with a chocolate kiss! ;)
