The most spectacular and exquisite red roses: 20 varieties with photos

What do red roses symbolize?

By choosing the color of pink buds, it is possible to display the nuances of the attitude towards a person. The very presence of red roses in the bouquet symbolizes long and strong feelings, while shades emphasize love or friendship, passion or light sympathy.

When choosing suitable items for a bouquet, you should remember about the established traditions so as not to be unknowingly in an awkward position:

1. Presenting one red rose by a man to a woman is a kind of declaration of love. If there are five colors - in addition to recognition, there is also hope for a relationship.
2. Adding one white to the red buds hints that the girl is still young, and therefore there is no talk of a serious relationship.
3. If there are several white roses in a red bouquet, the giver asks for forgiveness.
4. The standard gift arrangement of three red roses represents strong relationships and dedication.

Choosing the right amount allows even an indecisive man to open his feelings to the object of sighing. Here the number of red buds comes out on top:

• 7 pieces hint at a secret passion, serious intentions;
• 9 - admiration for a woman, a kind of friendship proposal;
• 11–13 - charm with beauty;
• 15 - request for reconciliation;
• 25 - a symbol of boundless love;
• 101 red roses are given when they decide to ask for a hand and heart.

The engagement bouquet is made up of white and red buds, symbolizing purity of relationships and harmony. On their birthday, friends and colleagues should be presented with compositions of red and yellow roses - this is a kind of wish for happiness.

Women can give bouquets of red roses to each other as a sign of respect and friendship. But the same gift from a woman to a man symbolizes the high status of the hero of the occasion, as well as admiration for his courage and achievements. In this case, the flowers must be on a long stem.
