Roses hold the title of the most popular and universally recognised flower globally, making them a quintessential choice, especially during Valentine's Day. Distinguished by a single flower at the end of the stem, roses boast multiple petals, ranging from 40 to 60 in a single bloom. Their extensive colour palette covers nearly the entire spectrum, featuring shades from soft pastels to pure saturated colours and bold, confident hues. Roses exhibit various petal patterns, including solid, striped, or variegated, contributing to their versatility.
From the purest white to the deepest red, along with pink, yellow, orange, mauve, russet, and numerous shades in between, roses effortlessly coordinate with any setting. However, it's noteworthy that very few commercial varieties available today possess a noticeable fragrance. Despite this, the enduring beauty and diverse array of colours make roses an enduring symbol of love and expression.
When hydrating roses, it's advisable to leave the rose wraps in place for 1-2 hours to support the flower heads. While removing foliage that falls below the solution level is recommended, it's important not to over-strip, as the foliage aids in the hydration process. Versatile and often associated with romance and elegance, roses are suitable for various arrangements, including beautiful vase displays and single-stem gifts. Widely used as focal flowers, they are particularly popular in wedding work.
Working with roses is easy; simply drop a few stems in a loose vase arrangement. Many varieties come with their own beautiful foliage, eliminating the need for additional greenery. It's worth noting that different rose varieties may open and perform differently. Some open gradually, resembling the unfolding of a garden rose.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, roses have accumulated deep symbolism and a devoted following. They are a timeless and expressive choice for conveying emotions. Roses have long been used to convey covert messages, each colour carrying its own meaning in the secret language of flowers. Whether expressing love at first sight, friendship, true love, new beginnings, appreciation, or congratulations, roses offer a diverse and rich palette to symbolize heartfelt sentiments.
