Rose Bouquet

A bouquet of red roses can overwhelm just about anyone. Its overpowering presence and fragrance can consume people, and compel them to give the sender a second look. It has the desired effect when a single red rose is just not adequate to express what is usually much more than just liking.

That's probably why people like to send red roses when they want to apologize for being hurtful or offensive. 

People often wonder what it is about red a rose bouquet that has such a dramatic effect on the recipient that even if they are hurting, they smile instantly and feel much better. In fact, they are almost disarmed and become receptive to the sender even if the sender has displeased them or hurt them beyond their tolerance level. The answer lies in the fact that receiving a red rose bouquet is a breathtaking experience. It makes the recipient feel special as it is the ultimate expression of giving someone attention, and feels like the perfect compliment. The receiver feels as lovely as the flowers, as important and as loved. That's why brides simply love to carry red roses to the altar.

However, there is a subtle difference between the impact of a rose bouquet received in private and one that is received in public. For instance, when a red rose bouquet is received by a spouse at the workplace, the spouse may feel really special because the public display of love will lead to greater approval and respect from colleagues and co-workers. At the same time, red roses bouquet during a candle-lit dinner in a private dining room can also make a spouse feel rather loved. 

Red roses bouquets not only bring happiness, but also help to alleviate pain. Sending one to a friend who has just been through a painful break-up, or a parent who is in the hospital, or a sibling who has not been able to manage good grades, can work like a healing touch. It makes the receiver feel that there is someone to share their pain with and they are not alone in their sadness. This healing touch is particularly helpful when the sender is unable to be physically present because of work constraints, or some other unavoidable limitations.  

Red rose bouquets also help when an important date needs to be canceled at the last minute because of some other exigency and the sender wants to express genuine regret at not being able to make it. Similarly, the red rose bouquet helps senders apologize for forgetting birthdays and anniversaries without meaning to. It always express much more than words.
