The quality of the roses is essential to ensure that they along with your romance have staying power. You don’t want them wilting and drooping within 24 hours of delivery. How plush are the petals? How long are the stems?
Most of us know that red roses symbolise love, but do we know about some of the other colours? Red and white together for instance symbolise unity. Orange is the colour of desire and enthusiasm. Light purple lavender coloured roses symbolise love at first sight and enchantment. Yellow is about friendship so not the right colour if your message is about romantic love. Pink is about appreciation which is great for a long term relationship, but you might want to throw in a healthy dash of cream colours with that too. Where did this whole flowers on Valentine’s Day idea originate? It comes from the custom of sending floral bouquets as a form of non-verbal messages that was originated by Charles II of Sweden in the 18th Century. Ultimately flowers are an expression of love and admiration, and so much can be said without words if you choose the right flowers.
