Flowers have long been used to send messages and in Victorian times ‘floriography’ (the language of flowers) was a popular means of communication. Although we may not use flowers to communicate these days, some have retained their original meanings, the red rose being one of these. A Valentine’s red rose symbolises passionate, romantic love and this is why they are such a popular gift for Valentine’s Day. In fact, the meaning of the rose as the symbol of true love actually started long before Victorian times. It was said that the red rose was the favourite flower of Venus, the Roman Goddess of Love. If you are thinking of buying your wife or girlfriend the traditional dozen red roses this Valentine’s Day, we urge you to do something a bit different instead. We have plenty of rose-themed Valentine’s Day gifts for you to choose from, including our everlasting red rose. This gift is a real rose, but which has been naturally treated so that it lasts for years and years. Far more beautiful than an artificial or silk flower, this rose retains all its natural ...
... beauty and looks fresh for years to come. Easy to maintain, all you need to do to make sure this lovely rose stays in its natural condition is to keep it away from excessive humidity and out of direct sunlight. Unlike a natural rose, this special Valentine’s red rose also doesn’t need to be watered. This gift comes with everything you need, including a special acetate presentation tube and a simple black mailing box. Plus you can even add in a gift message for no extra cost and benefit from our gift wrap service too.

Our other rose-themed Valentine’s Day gifts include the Bed of Roses Kit. If you’re planning a romantic night in (either home or away) then this kit of over 100 scented red silk petals will help to set the scene and create a wonderfully romantic mood. Scatter them over the bed or along the floor to lead the way, plus you’ll also get four tealights and an invitation card to invite your partner to her romantic evening. Great for new or long-term couples, this kit is a lovely gift. For some extra detail, check out our I Love You Gift Tin, which contains the rose petals and three scented candles, but also a love declaration certificate, a love poem scroll, some love heart chocolates and a semi-precious stone heart pendant.

Jewellery items are also popular valentines gifts and we have plenty of jewellery to continue the rose theme. Our Rose Teardrop Pendant houses a real flower set in acrylic resin, which preserves its natural beauty, meaning it can be enjoyed for years. We also have a bracelet and earrings in the same range, created from the same process. Alternatively, check out our delicate Tokyo Pink Rose sterling silver bangle, which can be worn on its own or as part of a set of bangles from this range.
