However, it's not just about gifting roses and calling it a day! ♩ Dozen Roses has a wonderfully unique origin and history. Let's learn about it together! ♡

The Meaning of 12 Roses ♡

The reason why the number of roses is set at 12 is quite special.＊ A simple bouquet of roses cannot embody the Dozen Roses ceremony. Each of the 12 roses carries a different meaning: "gratitude, sincerity, happiness, trust, hope, affection, passion, truth, respect, glory, effort, and eternity."＊* Dozen Roses symbolizes a promise to the partner encompassing all of these meanings. Isn't that wonderful?

A Romantic Origin Story＊*

The origin of Dozen Roses dates back to medieval Europe. ♡ A man used flowers blooming along his path to create a bouquet as he made his way to his beloved’s home. ♡ When he arrived at her house, he presented the bouquet to propose.＊*

The woman accepted the bouquet and took a single flower from it, inserting it into the man’s chest as a sign of acceptance of the proposal. How romantic is that? ♡ Since roses are famously known as "flowers that express love," it makes perfect sense!

The Presentation Method of ≪Dozen Roses≫ ♡

If each guest has a rose that suits them, everyone is sure to have fun! ♡ For example, "respect" and "gratitude" for parents, and "trust," "hope," "passion," and "sincerity" for friends. ♩*

Once all 12 roses are collected, the bouquet is handed to the bride by the groom. As a sign of acceptance, she can take one rose out and wear it as a boutonnière for him.＊
