Roses – the word says it all. They are some of the most famous flowers in the world. These flowers have a look as beautiful as their scent. They are traditionally associated, of course, with romantic love. The following are some occasions on which you might want to give them to someone or to decorate with them:
To Declare Love or On a Date
It’s hard to imagine an image more well known image that represents romance – a man giving roses to a woman when he wants to tell her he loves her when he shows up for a date. Or he may send them to her (often with the obligatory box of chocolates) before hand. Though this may seem traditional, a date is still a great occasion on which to give them.
It can work either way – the man can give them to a woman or vice versa. Either way a rose or a rose bouquet says I love you as the saying goes. So consider giving this kind of floral present on the occasion of a date (whether it’s the first one or a subsequent meeting) if you want to express those kinds of sentiments.
Marriage Proposal
If it’s time to get more serious and pop the big question, roses are also a great type of flower for the occasion. To propose marriage is an important step, and these flowers express the romantic theme as well as the respect a marriage proposal it deserves perfectly.
Many Other Occasions
Roses, of course, don’t have to be used only on romantic occasions. They can be a great kind of flower for all sorts of different floral uses. They are great at parties and business get togethers. This famous and wonderful flower almost never seems out of place.

Q: Is it possible to perk up a tired rose?
A: Indeed it is. Roses are a lot like ladies of leisure. Sitting around looking pretty all day can be quite exhausting, and the best way to rejuvenate such a beauty is to run her a warm bath and allow her to hop in up to her neck and relax there for an hour or so.
Q: Should I pull off the thorns?
A: Many roses used in floristry are thorn-free, but, should your bunch be beset by prickles, just let it be. Pulling off thorns creates lesions in the stem where bacteria can enter and potentially shorten the vase-life of your flowers.
Q: Which are the best roses?
A: In our books (and in the eyes of many a romanced damsel), deep red Grand Prixs take the top title – they’ve not only got bustier blossoms, but longer ‘legs’ as well!
A piece of fruit can become a fabulous vase! Carve out the centre, rinse the shell and fill with water. Try this with any summer flowers.
Ah, roses! The ultimate romantic gesture. So who better than the French for elucidation on the matter? Gallant Gallics proclaim it’s white roses for love, red for passion, yellow for friendship and pink for beauty. Don’t say you weren’t warned!
