Love-sealing gifts evolve with the times

3 Rose

The rose has represented beauty and love for a long, long time. However, Chinese people have been giving roses as gifts of love for only about 30 years. During the period, various "theories" have arisen – different colors of roses have different meanings, and numbers mean something, too. For example, red rose means love, while yellow roses means an apology. Most men would be confused by the "theories" so they prefer the safest color – red. Blue rose is also a good choice.
