Should I buy a dozen roses or an assorted boquet with a rose for Valentine's Day (for my girlfriend).

Is it acceptable to buy flowers other than roses on Valentine's Day?
Yes of course! Consider a bouquet of tulips or iris' or lilies. Or maybe various flowers in her favorite color. I personally think that roses, especially red roses are so way over done and giving something different shows your more creative side. If you want to give roses though then consider a color other than red - there are so many unique varieties out there that will leave a lasting impression. If possible, go to the florist and ask what they have in fresh other than roses and pick and choose the flowers that you want - she will be truly touched by not only your thoughtfulness but with the time and energy you put into it.
Reply:Yes, get something exotic. Roses are too popular.They get sickening, and to me they've even started to stink.
Reply:any flower is appropriate. but what you want and can afford. personally, i think roses are over rated and show a lack of imagination.
Reply:everyone buys roses, go for something different. An assorted bouquet with one rose will be nice. Or a rose for every month or year that you have been together.
Reply:Of course! If it's her favorite flower, than that's even better than roses! It shows that you're not just some drone passing out the traditional gifts!
Reply:What a nice idea to give your girlfriend flowers besides roses! I think that shows you are thinking about her, not just doing what is expected.


Personally, I like tulips and irises better than roses.


Ask your girlfriend what are her favorite flowers.
Reply:Any flowers are ALWAYS appreciated. My favourite are carnations because they last a long time.
Reply:Yes ,or even a live plant .
Reply:BIG YES, pretty though or wild
Reply:Yes, girls just love it when you think of them!
