It’s THE flower for Valentine’s Day.
Thousands of French people are preparing to offer roses to their loved ones this Wednesday, February 14.
And as missteps are prohibited on lovers' day, here are some valuable tips for unraveling
the mysteries of the language of roses
and composing a magnificent bouquet.
Each color has its meaning.
Overview.
The Red Rose
The red rose is by far the most given on Valentine's Day.
It symbolizes passionate, powerful, deep, vivacious and lasting love, reports Interflora on its blog.
It is therefore ideal for a beautiful statement to your other half.
The pink rose
The pink color is most suitable for gentler declarations of love.
It further expresses
affection, loyalty and tenderness,
and celebrates the beauty of the person who receives it.
It can therefore be given on Valentine's Day as well as on other occasions, such as Mother's Day.

The orange rose
For budding stories of passion, the orange rose is ideal.
It expresses both carnal desire and
admiration.
A bouquet of these flowers allows you to reveal your desire to go further with the person.
It can in particular be offered to the person you are courting.

The White Rose
The white rose symbolizes pure and sincere love.
It is rather a rose intended
for weddings, births
and more generally new beginnings.
But, in a more romantic context, its meaning can vary.
For some, it aims to express a budding love, for others, it rather aims to make the other person understand that the relationship will remain platonic.
The yellow rose
Very delicate to slip into Valentine's Day bouquets, the yellow rose is above all
that of friendship.
In a romantic context, offering a bouquet of yellow roses, on the other hand, means infidelity, or even breakup.
To be avoided for February 14!
You can vary the colors within a bouquet to convey your exact feelings to others.
But be careful, the number of flowers is also important.
A single rose means, for example, love at first sight,
two evoke forgiveness, a bouquet of 24 expresses gallantry and a bouquet of 36 red roses is perfect for declaring your love.
