Different colours, different meanings
A rose is a rose, you might think. But there is far more to it than that! Every colour of rose carries its own meaning. That is interesting to know in general, but it is especially useful when you want to order and send roses. So many colours, each with its own message — quite remarkable.
It is not just the colours that carry meaning. The number of roses in a gift also says something. Here is a full overview.
1 rose: A single red rose tells someone you still love them. Giving one rose in a different colour is a way of saying thank you.
2 roses: Two roses stand for mutual love. They are often used when making a marriage proposal.
3 roses: Three roses are traditionally given to mark an anniversary.
5 roses: A bouquet of five roses expresses deep love — yours for someone else, or theirs for you.
6 roses: Six roses let someone know you are head over heels in love with them.
7 roses: Seven roses say that you are crazy about someone and want to stay together forever.
10 roses: Ten roses stand for perfection. Who or what do you consider perfect?
12 roses: Twelve roses can be used to propose — just like two roses — or simply to say thank you.
13 roses: Received thirteen roses with no name attached? That makes sense, because it means you have a secret admirer.
15 roses: "I am sorry, please forgive me." Fifteen roses are the way to say it.
24 roses: Completely smitten with someone? Give twenty-four roses. It means you think of them every single day.
25 roses: Twenty-five roses are a way to congratulate someone on a birthday, a graduation or another achievement.
40 roses: Forty roses express that the love you feel is sincere and genuine.
50 roses: Receiving a bunch of fifty roses means unconditional love.
99 or 100 red roses: Ninety-nine or a hundred red roses tell someone they are the one for you. You can order 100 red roses directly through Regiobloemist for delivery in the Netherlands.
365 roses: The grandest bouquet of all — three hundred and sixty-five roses — means love for you, or from you, every day of the year.
