Valentine's Roses
According to fossil evidence, roses have existed since prehistoric times. Exquisite and radiant, the rose is a classic, beautiful, and lasting symbol of love.

Try tying two roses together using colored ribbon to create a simple statement of love (for example, light pink and dark pink roses with creamy-white ribbon). Or, be as direct as possible: choose one color, one sentiment, and send your sweetie a powerful message.
