The meaning of roses

Just as the type of flowers has a meaning, the number of roses sent also conveys a special message.

There is evidence that flowers were given as gifts since the Middle Ages. However, from the second half of the 18th century, the Western world discovered that in the Ottoman Empire, the number and type of flowers had unique meanings. During the Victorian era, feelings and emotions were not expressed due to cultural etiquette, so the floral code quickly gained popularity. They adapted the language of flowers to Western culture.

Even in modern times, we still maintain this custom, which has expanded globally. The number of roses also conveys special meanings. LolaFlora offers different arrangements, and the meaning of the numbers is explained below.
