red rose
Valentine's floral gift
A red rose is the classic symbol of romantic love and passion, given as gifts on Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and when wooing someone.
The flower itself is simply a rose with red petals, but cultural tradition has loaded it with meaning beyond its botany.
A single red rose can declare love; a dozen amplifies the gesture.
