red roses

Valentine's Day blooms

Red roses are roses that are red in color, carrying strong romantic and symbolic associations.

They are the conventional flower of romantic love, given on Valentine's Day, anniversaries, and as declarations of affection: He showed up at her door with a dozen red roses.

A single red rose can signal love as clearly as a bouquet.
