Roses are the flowers we give most when we want to say something important. But not all of them say the same thing, and sometimes the color completely changes the message \ud83d\ude05. Here are the basics so you don't get it wrong, explained the way we tell our customers at the shop.<\/p>\n
What each rose color means<\/h2>\n
\n
Red rose:<\/strong> love and passion, no beating around the bush. It's the rose for anniversaries, Valentine's Day and declarations of love. If it's for your partner, you can't go wrong.<\/li>\n
White rose:<\/strong> purity, respect and new beginnings. Very common at weddings, and also to say sorry or \u201cI'm here for you\u201d at a difficult time.<\/li>\n
Pink rose:<\/strong> affection, tenderness and gratitude. Perfect for your mom, a friend or to say thank you.<\/li>\n
Yellow rose:<\/strong> friendship and joy. Ideal for a birthday or to celebrate an achievement.<\/li>\n
Peach or salmon rose:<\/strong> admiration and a calmer kind of love. It's my favorite when you want to look elegant without being as obvious as red. Our Dulce Atardecer bouquet is exactly this shade.<\/li>\n
Orange rose:<\/strong> enthusiasm and desire. Somewhere between friendship and love (use it if you want to drop a hint \ud83d\ude09).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/figure>\n
How many roses to give?<\/h2>\n
There are lots of \u201crules\u201d online, some more serious than others. The best known:<\/p>\n
\n
1 rose:<\/strong> love at first sight, or \u201cyou're the one\u201d.<\/li>\n
6 roses:<\/strong> \u201cI want you to be mine\u201d, or simply an elegant gesture without going overboard.<\/li>\n
12 roses:<\/strong> the classic dozen, the good old \u201cwill you be my partner?\u201d.<\/li>\n
24 or more:<\/strong> now we're talking about something really special, like a big anniversary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
But honestly: nobody is going to count the roses to figure out what you meant. What matters most is that the bouquet looks beautiful, arrives fresh and that the card sounds like you.<\/p>\n
Fresh or preserved?<\/h2>\n
Fresh roses have a scent and freshness that can't be copied, but they last a few days (a bit longer with good care). Preserved roses<\/strong> are real roses treated so they stay beautiful for a long time without water. They're a good option if the person travels a lot or if you want the gift to stay in their home. Our Eterno Amor bouquet, with preserved red roses, is the most ordered for anniversaries.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
How to make them last longer<\/h2>\n
\n
Cut the stems at an angle before putting them in water.<\/li>\n
Fill the vase to about 2\/3 and change the water every one or two days.<\/li>\n
Remove any leaves that sit below the water line.<\/li>\n
Keep them away from direct sunlight, heating and fruit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
