Why order 12 red roses for Valentines day?
The red rose has now become THE most significant symbol to give on Valentines Day to your loved one. So why is this?
The meaning of red roses goes back many centuries, even to some of the earliest societies. The color red itself evolved from an early primal symbol for life into a metaphor for deep emotion. In Greek and Roman mythology the red rose was closely tied to the goddess of love. Many early cultures used red roses to decorate marriage ceremonies and they were often a part of traditional wedding attire. Through this, the red rose became known as a symbol for love and fidelity. As the tradition of exchanging roses and other flowers as gifts of affection came into prevalence, the red rose naturally became the flower of choice for sending the strongest message of love. This is a tradition that has endured to the present day.
‘Why 12 give red roses?’ I hear you say, well it’s simple – there are 12 months in the year and therefore you are saying that you love your partner for all of them. Girls just love roses… take it from me – you just can’t fail with these!
