Red roses bought by men dominates the sales

As expected, red roses continue to dominate Valentine’s Day flower sales, constituting 73% of all roses sold during this romantic season.

The study also shows that men are the primary purchasers, responsible for about 64% of the purchases. The majority of these red roses are intended for significant others (82%), while the remainder is dedicated to daughters, mothers, friends, and “others”.

Symbolic meaning of roses:

Florists and popular culture suggest that the number of roses given holds different meanings. Some common interpretations include:

  • One red rose: A direct expression of ‘I love you.’
  • Two red roses: Signifying both love and affection, often linked to impending engagement or marriage.
  • Three red roses: A tradition among florists, symbolizing the three little words that mean the most on Valentine’s Day – “I love you.”
  • Ten Red Roses: Representing perfection, expressing that the partner is sheer perfection, a perfect 10.
  • Twelve Red Roses: Traditionally used to show love and commitment throughout the year, expressing love in 12 different ways.
  • One Hundred Roses: Marking a commitment to remain devoted to one another until old age.
