Valentine’s Day – the history, symbolism, and power of flowers that speak for you

Valentine’s Day is one of the most powerful celebrations of emotion. It is more than just a date on the calendar; it is a day when people all over the world express love, respect, and closeness. And flowers—especially roses—serve as the purest symbol for conveying these sentiments.

At Růže Michael, we consider Valentine’s Day one of the most important days of the year. Every bouquet, every rose, and every single detail is crafted with the utmost care, because we know that this day is truly one-of-a-kind.

The History of Valentine’s Day: Where the Holiday for Lovers Comes From

The roots of Valentine’s Day trace back to ancient Rome. Originally, mid-February marked celebrations of fertility and the arrival of spring. Later, the day became associated with Saint Valentine, who, according to legend, secretly married couples in love—defying the emperor’s ban.

It is because of this story that Valentine’s Day has become a symbol of devotion, courage, and true love—values ​​that endure to this day.

Valentine’s Day Symbolism and the Meaning of Roses

Roses are inextricably linked to Valentine’s Day. Red roses symbolize passion and deep love; pink roses represent tenderness and admiration; and white roses signify purity and new beginnings.

At Růže Michael, we select only the highest-quality roses—featuring large blooms, sturdy stems, and exceptional longevity. For Valentine’s Day, we secure our flowers months in advance from growers around the world to guarantee top-tier quality.

That is precisely why, in our collection, you will find, above all, rose bouquets— some of the most sought-after Valentine’s Day gifts.
