Red roses, always?
The red rose has been the Valentine’s flower since the language of flowers of the 19th century: it says passionate love without explanation. It is the right choice for a first Valentine’s Day, a declaration or making up. Soft pink speaks of tenderness and admiration, white of sincere, quiet love; together they make a gentler bouquet. Avoid yellow, long linked to jealousy, if your partner cares about such things.
Flower colour meaningsHow many roses to give for Valentine’s Day
The number of roses carries a message, according to the most quoted meanings: one rose for love at first sight, three for « I love you », seven for being under someone’s spell, twelve for « be mine », twenty-four for « I think of you every hour ». These are conventions, not rules: if the number matters to you, say so on the card. At Hanaé, the Pont des Arts bouquet is chosen by count: 7, 12 or 24 red roses.
What the number of roses meansAn original Valentine’s bouquet, without roses
After years together, twelve red roses can feel expected. A bouquet of ranunculus, peonies or garden roses in powdery tones says the same thing with more personality. Start from what your partner loves: a favourite colour, the flowers from your wedding or from a trip. A bouquet that looks like them moves more than one that looks like Valentine’s Day.
Choosing the perfect bouquetGiving flowers to a man for Valentine’s Day
Many men have never been given flowers, and most like it. No need for a « masculine » code: start from his tastes. Bold colours (deep red, orange, sunny yellow) and graphic bouquets with foliage often please; red roses remain a real declaration whoever receives them. If he has no vase, a potted orchid lasts several weeks.
Giving flowers to a manWhat to write on the card
The card is what gets kept. One or two sentences are enough, written for this person: a specific memory, what you love about them, a promise. « Twelve roses, and every reason to do it all again. Paul » says more than a long poem found online. At Hanaé, love notes are already common: 21 of the 143 orders paid since 7 October 2026 carry an « I love you » or « my love » on the card (15%, measured on 2 November 2026, small sample). The card is included, up to 400 characters, copied out by hand.
What to write on a flower cardWhich bouquet size
For a love bouquet, the medium size is the most frequent choice with us: of the 21 orders with a love note, 12 were size M, 7 size S and 2 size L (measured on 2 November 2026). An S, delivered to the office or first thing in the morning, says « thinking of you » without overdoing it; an L is for the big declarations. Each size’s price is shown on each bouquet’s page.
