A single rose says more than a dozen ever will.

White roses are my favorite, but if I were picking my own bouquet, I'd have a bunch of mixed flowers. Roses, gerber daisies, wildflowers, sunflowers....the more colorful the better.

A single rose says you want more. A dozen roses means it was really good.

Depends on the occasion and the circumstances. My old boyfriend sent a dozen red roses to me, and then sent them and sent them....for every occasion. Yes, I certainly appreciated them. But I kept dropping the hint that I love daisies and tulips too....It was almost too easy to call the florist's and order the same old thing. Of course, he is dead now, and I'd give anything to see that same old tired bunch of red roses arrive....be grateful for whatever, I guess. I just don't want stargazer lilies...

I love any flowers! I do think a single flower says more.
My ex surprised me with a dozen silvery lavendar roses and another time with creamy blushing pink roses. Stunning!
I'm just as happy with the grocery store bouquet though...as long as they are really fresh!

Becky, are you my long-lost twin?? I prefer carnations too!! (My favorite are the white with red tipped petals.) If roses are what's going, though, I'd just like one thanks. I agree....it conveys a lot more sentiment than a dozen.

If I buy a woman flowers, it will always be just one, either a rose or something else. I once paid a bloody fortune for a black orchid, but it was worth it.

I have to say I do love roses.... but I love all flowers too. And I agree...a single rose is perfect! It's not really how many or what kind..... it's the thought that counts. (Is that cliche' or what!)

I prefer a single rose...and a cream white with flushed tips...
The Rose
A red rose breathes of passion...
A white rose breathes of love...
Oh, the red rose is a falcon...
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream white rosebud...
With a flush on its pedalled tips...
For the love that is purest and sweetest...
Has a kiss of desire on the lips

If you give your love a red, red rose....
Roses have had meaning since the dawn of time. Everyone knows that a red rose is a symbol for love but did you know that when you give a bouquet of white and red roses, it means unity?
Read on to learn what your favorite roses mean in the very special language of flowers.
In Victorian times, suitors would present a bouquet to their intended that held much meaning once the flowers were looked at. These bouquets were called "tussie-mussies" and every courtship began with their presentation. The content of these tokens often changed as the relationship did until the bride walked down the aisle with the most meaningful bouquet.
Red roses say “I love you” and also stand for respect and courage.
Rosebuds symbolize beauty, youth and a heart innocent of love or: “You are young and beautiful.” Red rosebuds mean “pure and lovely” and white rosebuds signify girlhood or “too young to love.” The moss rosebud stands for confessions of love.
A single rose stands for simplicity. In full bloom, it means “I love you” or “I love you still,” and a bouquet of roses in full bloom signifies gratitude.
White roses have several meanings: “You’re heavenly,” reverence and humility, innocence and purity, “I’m worthy of you,” and secrecy and silence.
Red and white roses together, or white roses with red edges, signify unity.
Pink roses in general symbolize grace and gentility. For more subtle shades of meaning, choose deep pink to stand for gratitude and appreciation. Light pink conveys admiration and sympathy.
Yellow roses usually stand for joy and gladness, but can also say “try to care.”
Red and yellow blends stand for jovial and happy feelings.
Coral or orange roses denote enthusiasm and desire.
A deep burgundy rose means “unconscious beauty.”
Pale colors convey sociability and friendship.
Hybrid tea roses mean “I’ll remember you always” and sweetheart roses symbolize just what their name implies.
Two roses taped or wired together to form a single stem signal an engagement or coming marriage.
A full blown rose placed over two buds forms a combination that signifies secrecy.
Withered white roses have two meanings: fleeting beauty and “you made no impression.”
A crown made of roses signifies reward or virtue.
Rose leaves are a symbol of hope.

Thank you Lavender.
See guys, you do need to be careful on what color and how many.
It might seem old fashion thinking, but I have told alot of young guys and Gals all about this. So the traditional still goes on.
