The following are the meanings traditionally ascribed to the most popular roses, according to colors; use this list as a guide when selecting Valentine roses:


Red roses proclaim "I love you." They are the ultimate symbol of romantic love and enduring passion. Florists can't keep up with Valentines Day demand for red roses, which makes them especially expensive in February.
