Flower meanings are fun and exciting because they make gifts more meaningful and mysterious. But did you know that for roses, the meaning isn't only based on the petal color but the number of stems in a floral arrangement, too?
If you give or receive rose bouquets from your significant other, here's an intriguing way to decipher secret messages that they could be intentionally or unconsciously sending.

Check out the unspoken flower meanings behind each number of roses.
- One rose: The gift of a single long-stemmed rose can mean either love at first sight or "You're still the one."
- Two roses say the feeling is mutual. Give it as a response to someone you want to be with.
- Three roses: Three roses stand for
- Six roses or half a dozen can say, "I want to be yours."
- 12 roses are perfect for confessing one's true feelings or professing commitment. It's a beautiful way to say, "Be mine," or "Let's be together forever."
- 13 roses mean you have a secret admirer.
- 15 roses ask for a lover's forgiveness.
- 25 roses are for celebrating, and congratulations. Did you get engaged, promoted, pregnant, or buy a new home?
- 36 roses definitely mean "I'm head over heels" or "I won't stop chasing after you."

Can lovers really gift that many roses? Yes. That can happen. Remember, Kanye sent his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, a truckload of roses for Valentine's Day in 2022?
In addition, the King of Sweden reportedly sent his wife, Queen Silvia Sommerlath, a dozen yellow roses every day for four years – which adds up to 1, 461 dozen or a total of 17,532 individual flowers.
