Why Do We Give Red Roses On Valentine’s Day?
For centuries, the red rose has been a symbol of love, passion and romance. This extraordinary flower has a fascinating history when it comes to its association with deep intimacy — especially on Valentine’s Day. But it’s also an emblem of secrecy. Stemming from ancient mythology and Roman conquest to secret marriages and discreet messages, the symbol of the rose has followed a long road to become the staple of a Valentine’s Day bouquet.
Each Rose Colour Has a Different Meaning
As the celebration of Valentine's Day moved away from its religious roots, roses were still used as a form of secret language. During the Victorian Era, flowers took on different meanings. Yes, a rose is an expression of love all on its own—but its colour can convey different messages. Red roses are a symbol of love and passion. Yellow roses symbolise friendship. Orange roses symbolise desire. Pink roses symbolise appreciation and grace, whilst white roses imply innocence. Whatever you're trying to communicate this Valentine's Day, the rose remains an ideal and timeless choice—just choose the shade that best represents how you feel about the recipient.
A Dozen Red Roses
A typical bouquet of roses contains a dozen stems because they symbolise the 12 months in a full year and the 12 signs of the zodiac. This number is a symbol of perfection and completeness. In other words, if you're preparing for a perfect Valentine's Day this year, then don't spring for an arrangement from your local supermarket.
Why Choose Preserved Roses?
From Aphrodite and her lost love to the Victorian language of flowers, the red rose continues to be a symbol of passion and deep intimacy. Love can be both beautiful and painful, like a red rose and its thorns, but it can also stand the test of time… A Little Something’s Roses are the world’s finest, longest-lasting roses; real Ecuadorian roses that have been naturally preserved so that they will last for years without the need for water, retaining their natural shape and radiance, ensuring your loved one can appreciate your gift for years to come.
