As old superstitions fade and Emily Post-like etiquette evolves, you're probably not counting the number of roses or orchids or hydrangeas you received yesterday. But the number of roses a man once gave a woman held hidden meanings, so check out what your Valentine either intentionally or, more likely, unintentionally told you.
One rose: Love at first sight, or years later "you are still the one."你是我的唯一。(一见钟情)
Two roses: Mutual love and affection . 世界上只有你和我. so you may owe him two roses!
Three roses: The traditional three-month anniversary gift also simply means "I love you."(我爱你!)
Six roses: Infatuation, or "I want to be yours."。由衷欣赏!
Nine roses: A big jump up from six, nine roses symbolize eternal love or "I want to be with you forever."互敬,互爱,互谅,长相守、坚定。
10 roses: A perfect 10 means "You are perfection."十心十意,十全十美,无懈可击!
12 roses: A dozen is like picking the best heart from a Sweetheart candy box, it means "Be Mine."爱你一生一世!
13 roses: Thirteen may be a baker's dozen, but not so in love. Its meaning is actually disputed: Teleflora says it means you'll be friends forever, but several other sources, like Love Letter Box, say it means you have a secret admirer.暗恋。友谊长存!
15 roses: Does he have a reason to apologize? Because 15 roses means "I'm sorry." If not, take it as credit for future remorse.歉意!
20 roses: The red starts to get excessive around 20, and supposedly that means "Believe me, I am sincere toward you." Usually, sincerity does not need to be proved with quantity, but that's just me!此情不渝,永远爱你!
People send more than 20. See what they mean below.
21 roses: "I am dedicated to you" is the hidden meaning behind 21 roses. I am going to bet this was once popular among cheaters looking to be taken back.真诚的爱!
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.思念、纯洁的爱,扶持及鼓励!
25 roses: Are you pregnant? Did you just get 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 "big spender," but it also says "I'm head over heels in love" or "I will remember our romantic moments."我的爱只留给你!
40 roses: Forty roses say what 10, 20, or 30 can't: "My love for you is genuine."誓死不渝的爱情
50+ roses: Fifty and beyond can mean a few things, and they're all big and boisterous. Traditionally, they mean my love, like my wallet, knows no bounds.无悔的爱!
100 roses: No mater 100 year,I only want to geting old with you!白头偕老、百年好合。
101 roes: Your are the only one,I want! 唯一的爱!
