The Giving Of Roses In Valentine’s Day

Roses are some of the most popular kinds of flowers in the Philippines. Many Filipinos admire its beauty, its elegance, as well as its simplicity which adds to its popularity and demand in the market as a gift. Popular usage of roses in the Philippines typically involves non-occasional events such as when a man would confess his love to a woman. Another popular use is in weddings (for the bridal bouquet) and wedding anniversaries which are used as gifts.

However, one popular use of roses philippines is in special occasions such as in Valentine’s Day. Although this practice is recognized by every Filipino around the country, the presentation of flowers in Valentine’s Day was said to have been influenced by western cultures. Unlike in the Philippines and in other parts of the world, westerners practice Valentine’s Day with the exchange of Valentine’s cards as well as confectioneries.

Western-style Valentine’s Day
According to many experts, Valentine’s Day in western countries were first celebrated with the exchange of greeting cards. The sending of Valentines cards was a fashion in nineteenth-century Great Britain, and, in 1847, Esther Howland developed a successful business in her Worcester, Massachusetts home with hand-made Valentine cards based on British models.

Eventually, flowers were introduced as a gift in Valentine’s Day. One of the most popular flower gifted in Valentine’s Day are red roses. The question is, why red roses? There are tons of flowers out there that could be used as gifts in Valentine’s Day, however, many still opted to using red roses as their main flower gift in Valentine’s Day. So why is that?

The main reason why red roses became popular gifts in Valentine’s Day is because of its symbolism. In the past, flowers were known to have been used as a way to convey special coded messages to other people. And one of the most popular species of flower used for this reason is the red roses. This is because red roses were known to symbolize love and affection. This practice is known as floriography or the language of flowers.

Today, because of the popularity of the gift, many countries have now adapted this practice as their own. Unlike the giving of Valentine’s cards or chocolates, the giving of red roses philippines have been the most popular trend. However, other than roses philippines, flowers such as hyacinths, crocuses, and buttercups are also gifted on Valentine’s Day.For more information visit to our site at http://www.myayala.com
