Roses
Red Roses :
Red roses not only carry more meaning than many other colour roses, they are also one of the most universal of all symbols for love. They are the definitive symbol for romantic sentiments, representing true love, stronger than thorns. The red rose has long symbolised beauty and perfection and this is true to this day.Valentine's Day is primarily a lovers' holiday, and, as red roses are the traditional symbol for love and romance and a time-honored way to say "I love you", a bouquet of red roses is the perfect way to express your deep feelings for someone special.

White Roses:
There are myths and legends from different cultures relating to the origin of the first rose which is initially white in colour and is then miraculously transformed; the pure white rose was often depicted as being stained by blood, or made to blush from a kiss. This recurring theme did a great deal to establish the white rose as a symbol for purity, innocence and secrecy. White roses are now used to express a number of different sentiments. White roses are also a symbol for the pureness of a new bond of love.

A bouquet of red and white roses together signifies unity – again a perfect Valentine's day sentiment and also often chose for an engagement bouquet.

Pink Roses:
Pink roses have a rich history that comes with being one of the longest existing roses known to us - in fact, pink roses have even been depicted in some of the earliest known pieces of art. When roses first began to be cultivated, the majority of them existed in various shades of pink, from the palest pink to the deepest crimson; prior to this, wild roses were the predominantly pink – and this is still true to this day. As a symbol of grace and elegance, the pink rose is often given as an expression of admiration. Pink roses can also convey appreciation as well as joyfulness.

Tulips
The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love or even 'you are the perfect lover'– what better sentiment for Valentine's Day? Like many other flowers, different colours of tulips also often carry their own significance.

Red tulips are most strongly associated with true love.

White tulips are used to claim worthiness or to send a message of forgiveness. As one of the world's most beloved flowers, a gift of tulips is a sure delight, enchanting in its beauty and simplicity. Last but not least, girls love tulips - they're flowers that are simple, beautiful, charming, unpretentious and uncomplicated.

A very happy Valentine's Day 2009 to all my friends and their lover.
