Valentines Will Always Be About Roses

Roses and Valentines are two things that have long been associated with love, affection, passion, red, hearts, dinners, and of course money. Seriously speaking, have you (like me) ever wondered why every the red letter day of the year cue roses in? Sure, there are thousands of other more original, stunning, and beautiful gifts in the market but roses just seem to win over this battle year after year.


Roses are big talkers and have long symbolized love and passion. Valentines Day seem to put pressure on couples with undefined relationships. With a hazy status quo, how do you approach gift giving? Roses of different colors, count, and combinations should give you a good grasp on how to define subtly your relationship this sticky time of the year. Below is a list of that you can take in reference to this coming Valentines day:

By color:

Red Roses - defines love, passion, and respect
Pink Roses - communicates happiness, appreciation, admiration, friendship, and sympathy
Dark Pink Roses - say thank you
Light Pink Roses - displays grace, joy, gentility and admiration
White Roses - signify purity, innocence, humility, charm, and silence
Peach Roses - connotes modesty
Coral Roses - implies desire
Yellow Roses - defines caring, gladness, freedom, joy, and friendship
Orange Roses - shows the feeling of fascination, desire, and enthusiasm
Lavender Rose - symbolizes enchantment and love at first sight

By count:

One rose says I still love you while a dozen says thank you very much. Your partner will not only blush but be also floored upon receipt of fifty roses as this translates to unconditional love.

By combination:

A mix of red and white roses symbolizes unity. A generous yellow and orange rose mix sends passionate thoughts. I find saying congratulations rather weird on Valentines Day therefore please skip having a red and yellow rose mix arranged.

While Valentines Day has always been about roses, this should not restrict you from giving just these alone. Chocolates have always complemented roses nicely but recent trends show that jewelry such as rings, pendants, and brooches have been catching up. Fictional novels are always lovely to curl up to at night and so is an MP3 player that has all of your womans favorite love songs. Whatever your relationship is or whatever stage you are already on, just do make sure that you will not let this red-letter day pass without presenting roses.
