Happy Valentine's Day!


Roses, Chocolates and teddy Bears


"Oh, the roses are so lovely. Thank you so much, dear. So why did you give me fifteen stalks?" the girl asks. "Huh? Hmm. Well just thought the bouquet look nice with fifteen." Ha, you just got yourself shoot!

Ever wondered about rose flower meaning before you gift roses to your beloved?

Roses have inspired people over the ages to develop a language of roses by attributing meanings to color, variety and number of roses being gifted. Traditionally, the rose is considered the flower of love. Nothing beats red roses in saying "I Love You" on Valentine's Day.

The meaning of roses, the color of roses and the number of roses each has got their meaning. Do you know that 11 roses represent "You are my treasured one; the one I love most in my life" whereas 15 roses represent "I am truly sorry, please forgive me"? Now isn't that a total twist of the meaning for the roses you gave? What had meant to be a message of love has just turned into a message of apology, implying you were guilty of something?

That is why it is always good to know the symbolic meanings associated with roses when you gift them to your loved ones. When you consciously choose a certain color, variety or number of roses for someone, you bring a whole new depth to the gesture of gifting roses.

How many roses should I send?
On a first date, a single rose symbolises love at first sight. it can also be given in years to come to say, "I still love you."
Give someone two roses to represent your mutual love and affection.
Representing the couple and their shared love, a bouquet of three roses is
traditional one month anniversary gift.
Whether it's a school crush or a more mature passion, six roses symbolizes infatuation.
To send the message “We’ll be together forever,” send a bouquet of nine roses.
Let them know that their love is perfection with a bouquet of ten roses.
A perfect dozen shouts "Be mine!"
Tell someone that they'll be your friend forever with a bouquet of thirteen roses.

Two dozen roses shouts "I'm yours!"
Send a message of congratulations with twenty-five roses.
