A legend about the red rose

In ancient Greece and Rome, it was believed that all roses were white....until Venus (the godess of love) pricked her foot on a rose thorn as she hurried to save her imperiled lover. Her sacred blood dripped on the petals of the rose, and dyed it forever red.

If you know the meaning of rose colors, you know that sending red roses to someone, symbolizes "I love you". Valentines Day, Birthdays, Anniversary, or any special occassion, calls for a bouquet of a dozen of them! More often than not, if someone gives only one rose, it will be a single red rose.
