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.”
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.
