Throughout history, the rose flower has been synonymous with love and romance. Cleopatra was thought to have once filled room two-feet deep with rose petals for her beloved Marc Anthony, the Rose was sacred to Venus, the Roman Goddess of Love, and of course, it has been a useful metaphor with some of literature's finest writers including Robert Burns, and that rather talented chap, William Shakespeare.

Whilst twelve red roses seems to have a more modern association with Valentine's day, in fact a single red rose is all that is needed to get the message across and if you're stuck for ideas on what to get your loved one as a gift this year, then why not present them with a 'Name a Rose' gift set?

There are thought to be over 6,000 varieties of rose already, but with the wonders of modern technology and growing methods, hybrid roses are increasing the numbers on a daily basis and, naturally, every variety will need a name. That's where you come in. The name a rose gift set gives you the opportunity to present your loved one with a unique pack of rose seeds that can be given any name of your choice.

The seeds ...
... will be registered with that name and the gift pack will include a personalised certificate and a reference number to confirm the registration. The name a rose gift sets are a truly romantic gesture for any couple who are still in that Honeymoon period and want to nurture these flowers alongside their relationship, or for those who have been together for what seems like all of time, where the name a rose gift set is a fitting tribute to the wonderful years you have already spent together and for the many years that you have left.

Perhaps a loved one has recently passed away and you're looking for a fitting and permanent tribute to someone who was very special. Name a rose after them and you'll have a very special epitaph that will stand as a beautiful reminder of just how wonderful that loved one really was.

Whilst red roses are most famous for their association with romance and love, there are also plenty of other colours to choose from, all of which hold different sentiments so be sure to be specific when you purchase a name a rose gift set; you don't want to end up 'saying' the wrong thing. The Victorians were particularly fond of expressing sentiments in the choice and colours of the flowers that they would give remember that this was a time in which gestures of love tended to be more discreet, and when public declarations of love were not acceptable until after a proposal had been made, flower played an all important role in the courtship of young lovers.

A bouquet of pink roses refers to 'please believe me', whilst white roses are a symbol of innocence and purity. Present someone with a yellow rose and you're really presenting them with a symbol of jealousy. That said, for anyone who simply loves roses, no matter what the colour, and for those horticulturists in the family, then the name a rose gift set will make a splendid present no matter what the historic metaphor is.

Roses are not just a symbol of love in a romantic way, but they can also be a lovely birthday, thank you or congratulatory gift. The Name a Rose for Mother's day gift set is a great example of how you can present the favourite woman in your life with a gift that she can truly call her own, and that will last for as long as she can nurture it for. The Name a rose for mother's day is certainly an idea for anyone looking to give something more original than a box of chocolates and you're bound to score a few brownie points with it too.

If the name a rose gift set inspires the romantic in you, then there are plenty of other rose-themed gifts for you to present to your loved one too. The 'Rose Bud Bath Flowers' are a real treat for any bath-time and the red rose cufflinks make for great gifts to give to the man in your life on any occasion. For something a little bit more unusual then you could always opt for a 'Rose Aroma Mat' a set of re-usable coasters that produce a wonderful rose aroma when a hot mug is placed on them.

The ultimate dedication - name a rose with this unique romantic gift.
