A Bed Of Roses
My wife and I were having a hard time once...it was very bad. So, one day at work I was thinking of a way to make up with her. After work I ran out and got several red roses. I came home and wrote a poem-style riddle to direct her as to what to do. We had music to dance to, and I whispered many things in her ear. The last song we danced to was "Bed of Roses." After that I picked her up in my arms and carried her to her big treat. I gently laid my beautiful wife in that bed of roses...and you let your imagination tell you the rest.

A Nice Detail
Place a rose on the windshield with a message to her written on the windshield or window. You can leave a message on the windshield with an erasable marker, or leave a letter saying whatever you want. Don't forget to place a napkin in order let her clean the message you've left for her. If you leave a letter, place it into a plastic bag, to secure the message in case of rain.

A Promised Rose
My boyfriend and I met online. He was in Florida and I was in Nevada. I wanted him to know how much I loved him so I sent him 11 red roses with a card saying, "The twelfth rose in waiting for you in Nevada." When he got off the plane, I stood there holding a single red rose. We have been together in Nevada for 7 months and I still love him dearly.

A Reason For Romance
My fiancé and I have made it a tradition that whenever one of us buys the other roses, we enjoy their beauty for a few days but then, rather than throwing them out, we sprinkle the petals into a hot bath that we enjoy together. It's so romantic to be surrounded by velvety rose petals and it's also a great way to enjoy the roses after they have started to fade.

A Rose A Day...
I have been happily married to my best friend in life for 23 years. I love to garden almost as much as I love her. We commute to work together, but I enjoy starting each day with a small token of my love for her. So, every morning I go out to the gardens to find that special rose or flower to place on her morning shower towel, and often include a note simply saying "I love you." I have also drawn on the bathroom mirror a huge heart or "I love you" using the bar soap. It is great to still be on our "honeymoon!"

A Rose And A Poem!
One day I felt like telling my girlfriend, Kate, how much I loved her, so I wrote her a poem about how much I loved her. I wrapped this poem around the stem of a single red rose with a red ribbon. I put the rose on the passenger side in the sun visor. When she got the car I looked at her funny and said, "What's that on your face?" She pulled down the visor to look at her face in the mirror and the rose/poem fell right into her lap. It made her cry...

A Rose For You
On you and your loved one's special day, (Anniversary, Birthday, or Just Because) have a single rose laying by their bed when they wake up in the morning. It's not only romantic, but fun!!

A Rose Is Not Just A Rose
Each year that my wife and I have been married, I have bought her a rose made out of the material for that anniversary. I travel all over the world trying to find roses made of that year’s material (paper, silk, gold, etc). I get different kinds all through the year and on our anniversary I give them to her. It makes her cry each time. We have been married for 10 years now and I have found roses made out of the most interesting stuff.

A Single Rose
My girlfriend and I work in the same office on the graveyard shift. Nobody else at work knows we are a couple. One night I bought a single rose at the local supermarket on my way in to work and kept it in my car in a bottle of bottled water during our shift. About an hour before quitting time, I snuck out and put it on her windshield. It got a beautiful response.

A Special Way To Say I Love You
For our one-year anniversary I decided to buy my girlfriend twelve red roses (one for each month we have spent together), and one white to symbolize the year. I placed the white rose directly in the middle of the roses with a small card stating, "Twelve months of happiness developed into a beautiful and pure relationship." We remain strong on three years together thus far.

A Stand-Out Idea
The best reaction I’ve ever got from my girlfriend was when I surprised her at her house after she'd called me to tell me how bad her day had been. From behind my back, I pulled forth a dozen white roses with a single red rose in the middle of the bunch. Attached to the red rose I had note saying "Thank you so much for 'standing-out' in my life." I knew she'd like it, but when she threw her arms around me and began to cry it not only made her day, but mine too!

A Thought Of You

A Dozen Reasons Why!
Spice up a gift of roses. Individually wrap each rose. Within each wrap add a little piece of paper with one reason why you love them so much. This way they get a dozen roses and a dozen ways you adore them!

Almost A Dozen
At one time, I bought a dozen roses and removed one rose from the bunch. I headed over to my love's house, and she opened the door for me. I then handed her the 11 roses and a card that read: To complete this dozen, gently place them in the vicinity of your heart... She melted like ice cream!

Blooming Mail
To show my crush how much I liked him I bought a rose that hadn't bloomed yet. I cut the stem sort of short and over-night mailed it to his dorm. By the time he had opened it, it bloomed. Attached to the rose I wrote, "When I bought this rose, it hadn't bloomed and if this rose is anything like me, it certainly will bloom when it sees you!" He loved it so much he pressed the rose and still has it!

Breakfast & Roses
On a weekend, when he or she is sleeping in, sneak out and buy a small bouquet of roses. Set the breakfast table with the nice dishes and glasses, then surround the plate with roses, leaving one single one in the center of the plate. Wake your partner with a kiss, then serve a simple meal prepared with love.

Day Of Joy
I started out going to my girlfriend's house at around 6:30 in the morning before she woke up. I littered the bed with rose petals and made a trail of them over to her dresser where there was a big card next to a sweet smelling candle. I then left to get ready for the night we were to spend together. She received a flower delivery at 3:00 that day. It was 11 white roses with a red silk one in the middle and a note saying, "I'll love you until the last rose dies." -Your secret admirer (she loved that to the point of crying). I then picked her up at about seven and took her to a nice candlelight dinner at the nicest restaurant in town. We then went to a movie and, while I was walking her to the door at the end of the night, I presented her with her gift: a silver ring I had worn that I lost after trying to give it to her when we first met. I ended up finding it in my suitcase, but never told her. It was the best night for both of us.

Everyday I Love You
This has never happened to me but I know I would ABSOLUTELY love this! On a one-year anniversary, buy your sweetie 365 roses for everyday you have been together. Attached to every rose, try to think of a great date you had, or something that you love about them, or maybe even ticket stubs or pictures. I know that this is a lot of roses, but believe me, when a girl sees them she'll just die!!

Flowers For No Reason
Plan some random days to send your sweetie flowers. When giving her the bouquet, tell her the following as to why you gave it to her for no reason: "If I waited for a special day to give you this bouquet, you would only expect love from me on a few special days in the year."

Flowers With Age
For my girlfriend’s 20th birthday I sent her 20 bouquets of roses. I sent her one bouquet, every hour, starting at six in the morning until one A.M. in the morning. She didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, love me or be mad at me!

Ladies Love Flowers!
The next time your special lady is at work, but will be out of her office for a little while, take her roses. When she returns, the flowers and a sweet note will be waiting for her. She will be surprised and very happy. It shows that you are thinking about her, even when she is away. It is a great way to make her day that much better!

Let's Make a Bouquet
When I had first met this girl, she captured my heart and I got the nerve to ask her out. After the first few weeks I realized that I needed to get a gift for her (just something small), so I went to the flower shop and bought one rose. On the card I wrote, "1 rose equals 1 month... let's make a bouquet." She absolutely melted over this.

Painting The Roses Red!
Buy a dozen white roses, a small bottle of red paint, small paintbrushes etc., and put them in a gift box. Send them to her with a note that says she is "The Queen of Hearts" (from Alice in Wonderland). This one really works!

Real And Lasting
This wasn’t my idea, but it is a great one. A friend of mine bought his girlfriend a dozen yellow fake roses on Valentine's Day, and had them delivered with a note saying, "This is how long our friendship will last." Then 10 minutes later had a dozen real yellow roses delivered with a note that said, "This is how real our friendship is." Then 10 minutes later he had a dozen fake red roses delivered with a note saying, "This is how long our love will last." Then 10 minutes later he had a dozen real red roses delivered with a note saying, "This is how real our love is." She loved it!

Roses Are Red
It was my fiancé's birthday. When she came home, she found a small vase with a single red long-stem rose in it. Wrapped around the stem was a short poem:
"Roses are red, Violets are blue,
Here's a little game I made up for you;
Roses are red, Violets are blue,
Open the closet to find your next clue!"
I had placed twelve such roses around the house. The last one was in a vase large enough for all twelve roses, and was located, of course, in the bedroom. She said it was the best birthday present she ever got!

Roses From Strangers
I was planning on moving in with my "love." I told him I would be there on Monday, but I was actually going to be there the Wednesday before. He works at a bar and Wednesdays are very busy for him. I got there early enough so that I could make it to the florist. I bought 13 long-stemmed red roses. I met a friend who went in and found 6 different girls. We all lined up outside the door and each girl carried in 2 roses to give him. By time I got in he wasn't sure what was going on. I carried in the 13th one and asked if he had any plans later that night? He loved it completely...

Roses Throughout The Night!
Now, I haven't tried this myself; however, I did tell a friend to do this in college and, from what he told me it really worked!!! This is a new twist on giving a dozen red roses to that special someone in your life. Instead of just having a dozen red roses delivered all at once...spread them throughout the night. Have one single red rose delivered in a box to the person's house. Make sure they will be there to receive it. When you arrive to pick them up, present the second red rose. When that person enters the car, have the third one waiting for them. When you arrive at the restaurant, have another waiting at the table for them... and so on. Although this takes a lot of pre-planning, I promise you that the time you take to arrange all of the rose deliveries will create a memory that this special person in your life will NEVER forget! But, most of all be creative!

Send A Lasting Rose
Send a rose dipped in gold (sold on the internet for a mere price) with a vase to his/her job. Include a card that reads something like, "I hope our love lasts as long as this rose."

Special Colors
Not just on Valentine's Day, but any day of the year, take a white rose and die it to your partner's favorite color, or if you are lucky enough and they come in that color, buy them a dozen or two, just because you love them. Best of all, surprise them at work in front of everyone.

Surprise Roses
One nice idea is to have a dozen red roses sent to your favorite restaurant. Make reservations and have them put the flowers on the table waiting for you. She will love it. She will get a lot of admiration from the other people there. TRY IT!!!

Unexpected Surprise
My fiancé is in the Army. It gets really hard sometimes for both of us not being able to see each other. He was deployed in Europe for a long time. One day, he went online and found the address to my work and sent me a dozen boxed roses. The card was the awesome part. He wrote, "An ocean and thousands of miles can't keep me from thinking of you." My whole office saw them delivered to me and when I read that, it made me cry.

When Sending Roses...
If you are going to send roses to that special woman in your life, don't just send all one color. Make the dozen roses even more special by mixing colors. I personally think 6 white and 6 red roses looks wonderful. Also, attach a little hand-written note that says something like this, "I believe that every beautiful woman deserves flowers on her birthday (enter whatever occasion it is here). Roses are the most precious of all flowers because of their beauty and grace. You are like a lovely rose, your grace and beauty are unmatched among women."
