> Published: 2026-04-03 · 6 min read

Sending flowers to your loved one is the most elegant way to say what words cannot express. But each color, each number, and each type of flower carries a different meaning. Here's a Last Summer Florist guide to help you make the right choice.

## 1. Messages by Color

- **Red rose:** Passionate love, romantic commitment. The most classic choice.

- **Pink rose:** The beginning of a sweet love, admiration. Ideal for a first date.

- **White rose / orchid:** Purity, eternal commitment. Perfect for weddings and marriage proposals.

- **Yellow rose:** Friendship, joy. When you don't want to send a romantic message.

- **Peach / coral tones:** Warmth, appreciation. Says "being with you is wonderful."

## 2. Meaning of Flower Count

- **1 stem:** "You are unique and special"

- **3 stems:** "I love you"

- **9 stems:** "Forever"

- **11 stems:** "You are precious"

- **21 stems:** "I am devoted to you"

- **25 stems:** "Congratulations, celebrating you"

- **50 stems:** "This love is unconditional"

- **99 or 101 stems:** "Love of my life, marry me"

## 3. Choosing Flower Type by Meaning

- **Romantic love:** Anastasia red rose

- **Gentle beginning:** Pastel tulip or pink rose

- **Luxurious and unique:** White Phalaenopsis orchid

- **Seasonal surprise:** Florist's surprise selection

## 4. Message and QR Card

At Last Summer Florist, we include a handmade card with every arrangement and an optional QR code. When your loved one scans the QR code, they'll see your written note and, if you wish, a video message. This detail makes the flowers unforgettable.

## 5. Same-Day Delivery
