When it comes to flower language, are you a word person or number person?

Flowers, and particularly roses, have a pretty extensive vocabulary.

For instance, a bouquet of rosebuds tells the recipient “you’re youthful and beautiful.”

A rose without thorns says “love at first sight.” 

A tea rose conveys the sentiment that “you'll be remembered forever.”

Orange Roses with River Rocks Flowers

A dozen roses is flowerspeak for "Be mine." And orange represents desire and enthusiasm.

And there's more. The number of roses you choose also communicates feelings. Just do the math:

* A grouping of three roses is traditional gift for a one-month anniversary.

* Reward a loyal pal with 13 roses. That means you want to be friends for life.

* Ooops! Mistakes happen and if you're tired of saying sorry again and again, the floral way to go is to send 15 roses.

* A bouquet of 20 roses = sincerity. Really & truly.

* Smitten with your sweetie? Then 36 roses will make your case. (Guess you didn't really need me to tell you that 3 dozen roses will get you noticed!)

* To express limitless love, 50 roses will do the trick and create a lifelong memory.
