A dozen roses
Every year around Valentine’s Day, florists everywhere start to market their dozen roses special for the special day dedicated to love. Or you might want to send someone special some flowers and your florist might mention if you’d like a dozen roses. This is a very common arrangement for florists, but have you ever stopped to wonder why it’s always a dozen roses? Probably not because it’s just something you’ve known for as long as you’ve known about flowers and flower arrangement deliveries. One might think it’s simply a marketing ploy by the flower industry to get you to buy 12 roses for that special arrangement, but believe it or not, there is some history as to why a dozen roses are sold. Roses have long since been a storied flower associated with romance and love. Red roses are especially tied to this notion of love even though there are many roses to choose from. But 12 roses is actually a symbol for how many months there is in a year that you’re thinking of that special someone. There are 12 months in a year and one rose signifies one month of how much you love them. But the number 12 holds even more significance in aspects of religion, nature and philosophy. Back during the Victorian Era, giving flowers was at its all-time height. This is when the language of flowers became very popular, which simply gives flowers and their colors different meanings and symbols that we still use in modern times. This is also the first instance of a dozen roses as a grand declaration of love. And a dozen roses also became a representation of completeness and perfection for the person sending them to his admirer. This is because the number 12 is often a symbol of a completed cycle, such as 12 hours on a clock, 12 months in a calendar year and the 12 signs of the zodiac. So it only makes sense for 12 Roses. But this isn’t something new to the Victorian Era since the number 12 is very powerful in cultures all over the world, including both modern and ancient times. Many calendars are based on cycles on the number 12 and it’s a number that frequently appears throughout religious and mythological traditions, too. Then there’s also the fact that the number 12 has many recurrences across the spiritual and natural world, given it its sacred qualities – which all tie into the significance and importance of a dozen roses. So even if the person you’re sending a dozen roses to don’t care about the number of flowers you give them, you’ll at least know the significance behind the number. Sending a perfect dozen of red roses means you’re head over heels for them and truly care for them because, after all, a dozen roses aren’t exactly the cheapest flower arrangements in the flower industry.
