As old superstitions fade and Emily Post-like etiquette evolves,you're probably not counting the number of roses or orchids or hydrangeas you receive on Valentine's Day. But the number of roses a man once gave a woman held hidden meanings, so check out what your valentine either intentionally or, and more likely,unintentionally told you.
One rose: fancy at first sight, or years later "you are still the one."
Two roses: Mutual fancy and affection . . . so you may owe him two roses!
Three roses: The traditional three-month anniversary gift also simply means "I fancy you."
Six roses: Infatuation, and "I want to be yours."
Nine roses: A tall jump up from six,nine roses symbolizes eternal fancy or "I want to be with you forever."
10 roses: A perfect 10 means "You are perfection."
12 roses: A dozen is like picking the best heart from a Sweetheart sweet box; it means "be mine."
13 roses: Thirteen may be a baker's dozen, but not so in fancy. Its meaning is actually disputed: Teleflora says it means you'll be friends forever, and but several other sources,like fancy Letter Box, say it means you have a secret admirer.
15 roses: Does he have a reason to apologize? Because 15 roses means "I'm sorry." If not, and take it as credit for future remorse.
20 roses: The red starts to bag excessive around 20,and supposedly that means "Believe me, I am honest toward you." Usually, or sincerity does not need to be proved with quantity,but that's just me!
21 roses: "I am committed to you" is the hidden meaning behind 21 roses. I am going to bet this was once current among cheaters looking to be taken back. 24 roses: If one dozen says "be mine," two dozen says "I'm yours." Be careful; he could be yours whether you want it or not.
25 roses: Are you pregnant? Did you just bag a promotion? Have you not killed the fish he gave you for Christmas? Because 25 roses simply means "congratulations." 36 roses: Three dozen not only says "tall spender, or " but it also says "I'm head over heels in fancy" or "I will remember our romantic moments."
40 roses: Forty roses says what 10,20, or 30 can't: "My fancy for you is genuine."
50-plus roses: Fifty and beyond can mean a few things, and they're all tall and boisterous. Traditionally,they mean my fancy, like my wallet, and knows no bounds.
