Choosing the Perfect red
Valentine’s Day and red roses go hand in hand, but did you know that the shade of red you choose can send a deeper message? While all red roses symbolize love, the specific hue can add layers of meaning to your bouquet.
Selecting the right shade is a simple yet powerful way to make your Valentine’s gift even more thoughtful and personal.
The “Classic” Reds
The traditional deep red rose symbolizes true love, passion, and deep affection. It’s the ultimate romantic gesture and perfect for expressing long-lasting commitment.
On the brighter side of the classic red rose are hues such as Checkmate and Finally are perfect to express the excitement over new love. Vibrant and bold, bright red roses convey excitement and new romance. This shade is ideal for blossoming relationships or reigniting the spark in a long-term partnership. On the other end, more solid reds such as Explorer and Fortune will convey a message of love, stability, and commitment.
Ordering Tip: When ordering red roses from your florist, you must specify a specific color way, if not most florist will default to Freedom.
The “Deep” Reds
From “Deep Explorer” to “Burgundy,” the deep rose is truly for the lovers. A darker, more mysterious shade of red signifies deep desire and longing. If you want to express a sense of mystery and intensity, this is your go-to color.
The traditional red rose symbolizes the most known of loves: the feeling of passion and affection for someone. It’s the ultimate romantic gesture and perfect for expressing desire.
Ordering Tip: If you want a deep red, specify and place your order well in advance. Some deep reds are specialty colors and must be special ordered to ensure availability. Ask for your florist to help you choose the perfect deep red.
