Simply Thank You Flowers - Single Red Rose
Tell someone you love them
Red roses are traditionally for lovers and are very popular on Valentines Day. "Valentines roses" and "red roses" go hand in hand.
Close family members may be treated to a red rose for Valentines day but we tend to avoid sending these to our friends as it may convey the wrong meaning.
Different colours, different meanings
Red roses mean romantic love; also known as Valentine roses.
Purple roses signify that the giver has fallen in love with the recipient at first sight.
Coral and orange roses signal desire, the meaning of yellow roses is joy and friendship and we express our gratitude and appreciation with pink roses.
Roses are best grown in open, well ventilated areas, without too much shade. Ideally, they need sunlight for at least three quarters of the day.
Growing roses in the shade tend to end up with many problems, ranging from mildew to general malaise.
How to grow roses
Roses need to be correctly pruned; well fed; and watered when dry. Organic feeds such as bonemeal or good well rotted mulches will do this and help you produce healthy roses which are not as susceptible to diseases.
Roses can suffer from a multitude of pests and diseases such as aphids, blackspot and mildew and especially gardeners who cannot prune roses properly.
With rose gardening, prevention is best - start spraying with combined spray from early summer.
