Roses have a history that's 35 million years old. Today over 150 species of roses are cultivated on all continents but one. The most famous of all these roses is the red rose. Nothing can display love and affection better than 12 fresh red roses.

For more than 5000 years people have been growing roses. Not only were they grown for their beauty they were used for their oils as natural medications and perfumed scents as well as using their petals as confetti; tossed in the air at parades and parties

While the repressed and extremely formal Victorians used flower types and colors to express sentiments not considered proper to speak, the practice of red roses being linked to love extends to ancient Rome. That culture of elegance and style often used symbolic means of expression including flowers, but the complex system of hidden meanings really became prominent with the Victorians. In that time, many different flowers other than roses began to be included.

Nothing conveys the message of true love than a bouquet of a dozen fresh red roses. The stunning colors of a bouquet of 12 red roses are only one way of conveying significant meaning. The state of their bloom also conveys different messages. An unopened bunch of roses symbolize youth and innocence while roses that are fully opened and in full bloom symbolize love in full bloom and are suitable for anniversaries
