But if you’re new to, or unfamiliar with, picking the perfect bunch of flowers, Flower Station has got your back. For instance, you might not know that the number of roses in a bunch has historically held specific meanings – or that the type of rose you pick can affect how long it lasts. Here’s how the site broke down the meaning of each type of bouquet. A single rose “Give a single rose if you want to tell your spouse that you are still in love,” the experts said on their site . But if you give it on a first date, they added, it can reveal “ love at first sight ”. 12 red roses This is the perfect way to ask someone to “be yours,” Flower Station explained. 24 red roses This indicates that you’re thinking about your partner all the time and that they’re “yours”. 101 roses This is a “grandiose” way to tell someone they’re the love of your life, says Flower Station . Of course, there’s no reason your loved one wouldn’t find, say, 50 red roses or a bouquet with some Moet champagne meaningful too (I certainly would). What does the type of rose I choose mean? Red and white roses can signify romance mixed with purity. But no matter the colour of your flowers, Flower Station picks only the best luxury long-stem varieties, including famously long-lasting and beautiful Ecuadorian roses. You can visit Flower Station’s Rose Room in Marylebone if you’d like to see their flowers in person. There, you’ll be able to take pictures against their stunning backdrop or hand-pick flowers for your own perfect bouquet. Related...
