Roses are the most popular flower
History says other wise - roses were not always the top florist flower before 1850s due to their seasonality in bloom. Birth of Hybrid roses since then changed the whole story. Hermosa (China, light pink, <1837) was the first hybrid tea rose to make a big splash in the florist market and is the first rose that could bloom during the winter. Safrano (apricot, 1839), Bon Silene (Red) are two hybrid tea roses became popular after Hermosa. As rose gained popularity, more and more hybrid roses produced with deep red in color and long-stemmed roses. It was during this time around 1900, that roses became one of the most popular florist flowers, replacing carnations.
In recent times Grand Gala (long stemmed) and First Red both are hybrid tea roses which attracted most flower buyers in most part of the world. Now these two Red roses are facing stiff competition from newer verities like Royal Baccara, Upper class as these flowers have bigger flower size and better vase life.

Say it with Flowers
FLOWERS ARE universally given and accepted as a wonderful, thoughtful, warm gift. Giving gifts is part and parcel of social interaction. No other gift can match the versatility of a single flower, which can express joy, gratitude, romance, sympathy, or an apology for that matter!
Flowers have their own language and symbolism based on the type and colour. The meaning of flowers was so well developed that in 17th century Turkey, secret messages were conveyed through flowers! This secret language was popular enough in Europe for the French to codify the first flower dictionary in the year 1818.
To give an example, while a red roses or carnation was sent to give the message, "my heart aches for you," one dreaded receiving a striped carnation back which meant, "A no; Refusal or Sorry" a rather civilized way of saying, "Buzz off". Interestingly one could always reply to that with a yellow rose/carnation, and it would tell the recipient, "You have disappointed me". If a single red rose is received as the answer, you have a slight problem because the sender has decided to ignore the refusal and just declared his undying love for you.
If you are in Japan, you might want to avoid giving white lilies, or chrysanthemums, which are associated with funerals. They are also superstitious about potted plants, as it is believed to encourage sickness. If you are gifting a bunch of flowers to a Japanese then make sure that it has more or lesser than four flowers, because number four in Japanese is `shi', which is also the word for death.
While in China, avoid giving yellow or white flowers and zooming across to Europe, flowers are often taken to a hostess of a dinner party at her home. Remember that red roses mean "romance, secrecy and passion," while yellow roses can signify "jealousy". Avoid even number of flowers, which signifies bad luck, as does 13 in a bunch. White lilies or chrysanthemums again are associated with funerals.
Flowers are appropriate gifts in Latin and Central American countries, but certain colour needs to be avoided. In Guatemala, white flowers are associated with funerals, while in Mexico or Brazil, purple flowers have the same connotation. Therefore, when traveling abroad, check what the local significance is; you can avoid the embarrassment of sending unwanted messages.
Apart from these little quirks in flower giving or sending flowers, follow some basic guidelines and you will come out a winner.
- Flowers are appropriate practically for any occasion. Check the local custom.
- Gifting flowers spontaneously creates the best of goodwill and cheer.
- Don't forget that a nice potted plant is also a great hostess gift, as well as when you are visiting someone who is convalescing.
- It is a good idea to gifting flowers or sending either before the party, or the next day. Otherwise, she will have to busy herself looking for a vase to put the flowers in, taking her away from her hostess duties.

Use Copper Vase to keep flower fresh
All flower lovers like to keep the flowers looking fresh for as long as possible. .In general, keeping flowers in a vase with good water, by changing water alternate ay, can improves life of the flower. Cut an inch or half from the bottom of the stems of the flowers every day when you change the water in the vase. A clean angular cut is better than a square cut at the bottom of the stem.
In case of woody stemmed flowers like the chrysanthemum, lilac and other flowering shrubs, the stems must be split up to the middle with a used razor blade or knife, for several inches.
An interesting and simple method to make the cut flowers stay fresh for a long time is to use copper Vase. Flowers, which are put in copper vases, remain fresh for two or three days longer, due to the fact that a certain amount of copper particles get into the water and hinder the growth of bacteria, which causes the flowers to wilt.
If a metallic copper vase is not available, put a few copper coins or cut pieces of copper into the vase. It is believed that a copper vase in the presence of light, produces a type of electro culture. Certain varieties of cut flowers such as, roses, gerbera, carnations, etc., last longer than the others
