Ever since my ex brought me roses for my birthday, just prior to saying being married wasn't fun anymore, I'd prefer to skip flowers entirely...oh, and they were red roses..

I don't like red roses.  ...maybe because I prefer something [or rather someone] more 'creative' -- pink roses are gentle and nice, though.

I'm with you Sunny!! No dandelions here, but the backyard was full of them in the springtime, and I absolutely loved them (a lot better than the maple volunteers all over the place, let me tell ya!!)

Like me when I was little, when my kids brought me that hand full of dandelions, it was the best kind of flowers to have.

How about simple daisies? So pure and lovely in their simplicity? And sunflowers? All kinds of flowers that get overlooked.

Well...I kinda might take that as a negative, except for that teeny-tiny nagging suspicion that you'd likely get off on having them crushed against your bare chest

Or we could simply make Nettle Tea and watch the sun set over the sea 
Nettle tea
Pour boiling water over fresh (or dried) nettles. Steep, strain, enjoy.
OR
Bring water and nettles to a boil. Simmer for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Strain, enjoy.

No roses. Get me video games.
Roses die, they're not worth the money.

Red is the most commonly given color of roses. Red signifies love and passion. True red is the rose for lovers. Fiery red roses signify passion, while cardinal red symbolizes desire. Fully bloomed red roses best convey the message “I still love you,” while red rose buds are a way to express love for the first time.
Yellow roses once meant jealousy, but today the yellow rose signifies friendship, familiar love, and domestic happiness. Yellow roses can also be an appropriate sentiment to express sympathy. Orange roses symbolize an expression of pride or amazement, while peach roses symbolize appreciation and desire. A bouquet of orange roses would be appropriate for a graduate or to commemorate a promotion, while peach could express sincere appreciation for someone’s accomplishments.
Pink roses signify elegance, gentility, and poetic romance, without the seriousness signified by red. Pink roses are more light-hearted than red and can signify mere admiration or sweetness of thought. Light pink roses can signify both sympathy and friendship, while dark pink is symbolic of appreciation and thankfulness. A mixture of pink and red roses signifies a romantic relationship.
White roses are sometimes called the “flower of light” and are the bride’s roses. They symbolize unity, sincerity, loyalty, purity, and a love stronger than death. White roses can be mixed with red to emphasize the meaning of love, while white rose buds are an appropriate gift to a young girl from her father.
Purple roses represent majestic glory and can symbolize eternal love, while lavender or lilac roses signify love at first sight or the beginning of true feelings. Purple roses are appropriate for wedding anniversaries beyond 25 years and as memorial flowers for a lost spouse. Deep purple roses should be reserved for intimate situations.Black roses are symbolic of death. Many people view black roses as an omen, but they can signify change or rejuvenation on the horizon, as some rose buds appear black but then bloom into crimson red. The meaning of black roses may not be understood or well received as a gift, so you should avoid this color if you are at all unsure of the recipient’s beliefs.
Many colors of roses come in various shades, which can signify slightly different meanings from their primary colors. Mixing different colors together in one bouquet is an excellent way to convey a mixture of emotions when one sentiment is not enough.
there ya go..... Sweet N louisiana

A single rose or a dozen...doesn't matter. It's the thought that counts.
I always stop anytime I see a rose bush....just to smell the roses. Sterling Silver roses seem to have the most beautiful fragrance. But my favorite floral scent is from the Stargazer Lily. ~aaahhhhh~
