How to Choose Luxury Roses for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day 2026: How to Choose Luxury Roses and How Many to Give?

Valentine’s Day 2026, the celebration of love, is all about emotions, gestures, and attention to detail. And no symbol of love is stronger than a luxurious bouquet of roses. But which roses should you choose, how many should you give, and what else can you add to the bouquet to make the impression truly unforgettable?

At Belles Fleurs, we work with premium large-flowered roses from Ecuador, which are significantly longer, fuller, and last much longer than standard mass-produced roses. And on Valentine’s Day, the difference is more noticeable than ever.

Which Roses Are Suitable for Valentine’s Day?

The most common choice is red roses – a symbol of deep love, passion, and devotion. However, if you want to make an even more luxurious impression, choose:

Large-flowered Ecuadorian roses – they look majestic
Long stems – the bouquet appears fuller and more impressive
Cream or soft pink shades – elegance and tenderness
Deep burgundy roses – sophisticated, mature love

It is precisely premium roses that turn a bouquet into a truly exceptional gift.

How Many Roses Are Given on Valentine’s Day?

The number of roses carries its own meaning…

1 rose … Love at first sight
3 roses … I love you
7 roses … Being in love
9 roses … Eternal love
12 roses … A classic – perfect love
21+ roses … A grand romantic gesture

For a truly striking impression, we recommend 12, 21, or 25 roses – they look luxurious and are highly photogenic.

How Long Do Roses Last Without Water?

High-quality roses can last without water for approximately 2–4 hours, provided they are not exposed to direct sunlight. That’s why, especially on Valentine’s Day, we ensure fast flower delivery throughout Prague and across the Czech Republic (on weekdays), so your bouquet arrives fresh and in perfect condition.

With proper care, premium Ecuadorian roses typically last 7–12 days in a vase.
