Here is a simple guide how to choose the colors of your roses for Valentine’s Day.

Several different saints named Valentine have been recognized through the ages, each of whom was martyred. One legend says that Valentine was a priest who served in third century Rome during the reign of Claudius II. When the Emperor decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for all young men. Valentine, seeing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and performed marriages for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

There are other legends that suggest Valentine may have been killed for helping Christians escape harsh Roman prisons. According to one story, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the very first “valentine” greeting when he fell in love with a young girl who visited him during his imprisonment. Before his death, it is said that he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine,” a phrase still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legend is cloudy, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a romantic figure.

Giving that special someone flowers on Valentine’s Day stems from a long-standing history of sending bouquets as non-verbal declarations of love. The Persian custom of floriography, which means “flower writing,” was introduced to Europeans by Charles II of Sweden in the 18th century and taught gift givers the meanings of each bloom. As the tradition of floral gift giving blossomed through out Europe, it became a custom associated with Valentine’s Day.

Not surprisingly, this classic rose bud is the most popular choice for Valentine’s Day. Perhaps it is because red roses symbolize love, romance, beauty and perfection. The Valentine’s Carazon arrangements include 6 stems of stunning roses, ruscus and alstroemeria. On the other hand, perhaps its gratitude, appreciation or admiration that you wish to convey. Valentine’s Day isn’t solely for lovers. Pink roses as presented in the Valentine’s Day Pink Heaven arrangement will show that special someone that your are grateful for them and all that they do.

If yours is a blossoming love, a bouquet with daisies will symbolize beauty, innocence and purity. Gerberas are recognized by their large flowering heads and peppy hues, giving them an additional meaning of cheerfulness. The happy flowers are always a favorite to receive and you can present them in the Thinking of You arrangement which also comes with pretty red carnations, white pompom daisies greenery and a stem of spray roses.

An established love is just as important if not more so than a new one. The man or woman who gives a bouquet such as the Valentine’s Heart with pink lilies knows that his is a sophisticated love and knows his partner well. Lilies typically stand for beauty, class and style, the hallmark of a well worn love.

Carnations are just right for fascination and new love. For some reason, carnations have a bad rap, but they are so pretty and are arvelous flowers. The Valentine’s Amoure arrangements include red carnations and Gerbera daisies as well as greenery. Remember, those Gerberas hint at a blossoming love, its up to you to make sure it happens!

If there’s one holiday when a lady loves to receive the gift of fresh, beautiful flowers, it’s Valentine’s Day. Just the thought of romance evokes an image of elegant, long-stemmed red roses, standing regal and tall in a graceful vase. This lets a lady know she is loved and admired.

In search of roses for a Valentine’s Day fundraiser? Regardless of the occasion, we are sure to have the right package for you. For example, if it be a school valentine’s day fundraiser, the ever so popular choice of selling stems of carnations is a classic with good reason. You can go with our bulk carnations which is a ideal for fundraisers for valentine’s day and can be sent with either personalized card-grams written by the sender or a simple V-day slip of to and from. This bulk flower option comes with different colored flowers from pink to red which of course allows greater freedom for the sender to express his or her’s sentiments. Allowing a little room for buyers to personalize their message makes the fundraiser more attractive and hence more likely to be a great success.

Bear in mind, when it comes to valentines fundraiser ideas for schools, adding a bit of variety will speak to more people. For example, the durable carnation, which is undoubtedly the easiest to handle can be your main offering, but if you choose to also sell roses (at a slightly higher rate) it will speak to those who have their hearts set on a Valentine’s Day rose as the most elegant gift that resonates with them. A variety of flowers is a great route to go for a Valentine’s Day Fundraiser, but if not, simply choose one (of course, we recommend either carnations or roses), and do not forget to focus on your card options as well! Valentine’s day cards should be sold alongside the flowers for greater profit!

A valentine’s day fundraiser is not exclusive to the academic realm of course. This holiday of love corresponds to all shades of love, especially Caritas. Caritas is the Latin word for charitable love. Whether it be in the halls of a company, or in that of a hospital, raising funds with a valentine’s day flower fundraiser is an accessible and successful option. Flowers are historically the great  communicators of a powerful message to mankind, they will eternally hold a special place in our hearts, and are hence ideal for such occasions. If you are on short valentine’s day fundraiser ideas for church, do not hesitate to consider what the ethereal bloom and its divine sensibilities can do for you! A floral touch is simple, dignified, and yet immensely moving. The simple gesture of sending a flower is deeply connected with religious concepts of peace, love, and acceptance. The relief of the cool hand on the forehead and brow of distress is represented in the ever so symbolic gift of the rose.

A Valentine’s fundraiser with roses can offer a large variety of colors from whites, reds, and pinks but if you are looking to simply the process, then the route should undoubtedly be red. Why? Because red is the color of passion, the blood that runs through our veins, the motivating color of bravery and everything the pushes us outside of ourselves and towards the arms greatness. Red does not have to be romantic passion, it is simply passion itself, which can bend in any direction as long their is zest for whatever it may be: friendship, environmental health, or dedication to scientific development. Your valentine’s fundraiser ideas are not confined to one particular cause, as you can see, in selling the flower, what you sell is the boat which carries the sender’s message…whatever he or she wants it to be. This flexibility is precisely what makes valentine’s day raiser flowers ideal for raising funds, because there is no one who cannot benefit from the persuasive, enticing, and ever so powerful rose.
