Our red roses

The red rose - favourite flower and most popular floral gift !

The red rose has long been the most popular flower: whilst some people love to give or receive them throughout the year, others prefer to offer red roses on special occasions such as Valentine’s Day (the celebration of love), on wedding anniversaries or when they wish to declare their love.

The success of this timeless flower has proven the test of time: in poetry, the red rose has inspired the most famous poets including Shakespeare and Verlaine. The rose has been the subject of famous poems such as ‘Mignonne, allons voir si la rose’, or ‘Sweetheart, let us see whether the rose…’ by Pierre de Ronsard. This flower has always been highly symbolic, associated with love, affection and passion.

What does a red rose symbolise ?

The intense red colour, the voluptuous shape and intoxicating scent of the red rose have contributed to the symbolism of this flower, which signifies passionate love. It’s for this reason that sending a bouquet of red roses is the perfect way to convey your most heartfelt message of love.

When to send a red rose bouquet?

Send a red roses bouquet to convey your most heartfelt message of love! Whether it’s a wedding anniversary to renew your vows, or Valentine’s Day when you want to say ‘I love you’; to make a declaration of love or even to apologise to your loved one: a big red rose bouquet will always make them smile!

How many red roses should I give to say ‘I love you’?

It is very important to consider the number of roses in a bouquet. Each number of roses conveys a specific message.

You can offer a single rose to express love at first sight; 15 roses to thank someone you love; 30 roses to ask for forgiveness; 40,50, or 60 roses to declare your love or make a marriage proposal. The bigger the bouquet, the grander the gesture!
