- One rose: Love at first sight, or if years later, “you are still the one.”
- Two roses: Mutual love and affection. If you receive them, you should give your admirer two roses too!
- Three roses: The traditional three-month anniversary gift also simply means “I love you.”
- Six roses: Infatuation, or “I want to be yours.”
