single rose

One romantic stem

A single rose is one rose given or displayed alone, often carrying romantic or symbolic weight that a bouquet dilutes.

The gesture suggests focused attention: He left a single rose on her pillow.

In floral terminology, single rose also describes varieties with one ring of petals rather than the layered fullness of double roses.
