Valentine’s Day is celebrated around the world as the most romantic holiday. Have you ever wondered why roses are the chosen flower for Valentine’s Day? Every year both men and women spend their money on gifts such as chocolate, teddy bears, jewelry, and most importantly-red roses. Even if your significant other does not like to celebrate Valentine’s Day, it is always a nice and romantic gesture to send them gorgeous Gold Coast flowers.

Roses have long stood as a universal symbol for love. In early Greek and Roman mythology roses were associated with Aphrodite or Venus, the goddess of love. Later the rose became a widely recognized symbol for the Virgin Mary. Certain flowers and colours began to symbolize emotions, such as passion or desire, back in the early 18th century. The colour red began to symbolize passion and love, while the pink rose symbolizes love, gratitude, friendship and appreciation for loved ones. These are two of the reasons why pink and red roses are so popular during Valentine’s Day.

There are many symbols that help build a romantic atmosphere on this day of love. Within a few days of Valentine’s Day there are few places that are not decorated with pink, red, hearts, or flowers.
