It’s that time of year again, the time of love, the time of romance and affection, Valentine’s Day.
Did you know, the tradition of giving Valentine’s Day flowers began as a tradition in the 17th century. further more to giving flowers, red roses have become the official flower of Valentine’s Day. Roses are the iconic flower of love because they have long been associated with expressing passion and romance, a flower meaning that is rooted in deep ancient Greek mythology.
An estimated 250 million long-stemmed roses are grown every year solely for Valentine’s Day.
Did you know there is a hidden meaning behind how many roses you are planning on giving to your special someone? Here’s a quick guide:
- A single red rose stands for love at first sight or “you’re still the one”
- Three roses, are “I love you’
- Six roses, “I want to be yours” or “please be mine”
- A dozen roses are for proposals or confessing love for the very first time.
- The grandest of all, is exactly 101 roses, which means “I am crazy about you” or “My love knows no bounds”
