Whats more romantic; a Single Red Rose or a bunch of Roses?

Question

I've got a bunch, but dont know whether to go single or all together. Which is more romantic?

M

Answer 1

single....makes them feel like the "one"

Answer 2

Neither - I think that this gesture is a little cheesy to be honest - as far as flowers go I reckon a single orchid is really gorgeous and unique?

I personally like it when men don't try too hard or, if they are the mean, moody and magnificent ones, their own little ideas of what they consider romantic not what they think others think they should get to be romantic.

While material things are flattering at the end of the day girls will always go for the man who behaves like a man - I personally don't have a problem with old fashioned values and chivalry but be unique - don't follow the text books - it gives you the wilder edge that most women find irresistible -
Just an opinion but I am the girl who once entered a pub and shouted out Me Cave girl - Need Caveman! Sighhhhh those blimmin binge drinking sessions must stop;)

Answer 3

Either a single rose or a bunch of a dozen roses. Really depends on what she would like and how much you can afford to spend. The colour of a rose also means a lot like pink for passion, red for romance, yellow for rejection and so on. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

That depends upon the circumstances and how far into the relationship you are.

If you are expressing your feelings for someone early on, then you bring only a single red rose. It's a "sign".

Later in the relationship, or if you are proposing, then you bring at least a dozen red (or white) roses. They could even be pink, if she likes pink.

Finally, you don't give only a single red rose to a woman with whom you are not romantically involved. That is strictly reserved for her. For other women, a generic bouquet is appropriate.

Answer 5

A single rose

Answer 6

If the single rose is really nice and really red then the single rose. To me i think a black rose is more romantic but thats me.

Answer 7

For me it would be a single one cos i dont like flowers anyway but thats beside the point. I think a bunch of em will be far to much so why not give just the 1? If it doesn't go down to well then you'll no for next time.
But you havent said if it's for your girlfriend or it's first date etc , if it's for your girlfriend then you cant no her that well to no what she really likes. If it's a first date a bunch is defo to much.

Answer 8

The single red rose is considered more romantic than a bunch. Only a woman with dollar signs in her eyes would think more about the price of a bunch of roses than the sentiment behind the gift.

However, such gestures are for the male who has become emasculated by wildly inaccurate guides to what women really like e.g. anything 'gentlemanly'. Gentlemen are always left holding the door-handle, the bunch of flowers, the box of chocolates, etc. as the woman of his affections rides off with the dirty biker who doesn't give two hoots for her. Women are fatally attracted to 'bad' men - it's these men's happy secret and all women's dark secret. Ever heard these sayings: 'Nice guys never get the girl', 'Treat 'em mean to keep 'em keen'? Ever seen the great 'romantic' 'chick-flick' Sleepless in Seatle? The doting fiance gets dropped like dirt on the bottom of a shoe by Meg Ryan when she meets Tom Hanks. The film tries to soft-soap this by making the guy seem like a dork because he had allergies but the bottom line was that Hanks didn't care about muscling in on this guy's fiance and Ryan didn't care a toss about breaking her promises to him. Quasimodo had a heart of gold and was courageous and honourable but was there a fairy-tale ending? Was there &%$@! Esmeralda was off with the rich prince in a cloud of dust before Quasi had finished wiping it from his eyes! We don't get to see how things turned out, do we? Do we really think Tom Hanks' character would care for Meg Ryan's given that he knows what sort of woman she is? Only a mug would risk his heart to such a woman. No, he'll be off with the next silly girl who he can have his wicked way with while she goes back to *her* games, toying with naive mens' attentions with half an eye on the look out for the roving, 'rogue male'. She's venting her anger and self-loathing through the acts of vengence she wreaks on the men whose hearts she breaks; it's a psychological trap thing born of thinking with the gonads instead of the head (yes, women do this as much as men).

So my advice is that you should actually give those roses to your mother (or to a sick child in hospital, or some such) and NEVER give them to a woman who you want to 'win'.

Instead, make the woman chase you. Don't ever let a woman think she's doing you a favour just by being with you. It's either equality or she tows *your* line!
NB. It's fine giving tokens of love if you *know* the woman already i.e. 'romantic' gestures are fine between partners; but why the heck should women cry out from the rooftops that they want equality and then *expect* men to fork out huge amounts for flowers, chocolates, candle-lit dinners, etc. only to be given the brush-off?

Save your money, friend, until you know your efforts aren't being wasted. A similar gesture can be made for next to nothing *and* seem more original.

As a final note, morally, no woman should ever take *any* such gift *during a courtship* because she knows (or at least she *should* know) that she cannot be *bought*. No matter what the guy buys for her, there is always a high chance that she will reject the man. She will always have a good idea if this eventuality is likely, right from the off; thus, any gifts accepted are merely taking advantage of a long past tradition of men 'buying' female affections.

Answer 9

I always love to get a whole bunch of roses, but either way it's just as romantic. It's one of those things where it's more the thought that counts, she probably won't be concerned with how many flowers there are, but more with the fact that you got her flowers. At least that's how I think of it.

Answer 10

Depends on the situation - on a date/night out a single rose presented by yourself. however to mark an occasion a bouquet of roses, red or otherwise, is much more appropriate - if combined with chocolates and/or champagne - wow! Sorry to be spending all your money - this is what I would love and I'm an old granny!

Best of luck x

Answer 11

A single or a bunch of rose/s dont measure your being romantic. Its your motive of giving it and her manner of accepting it that count most.
