Choosing anniversary flowers
How many roses?
A popular idea is one rose for every year together. Otherwise, choose by impact:
- 12 roses: Rosa Dozen or Forever Red 12 Roses. Classic and never wrong.
- 18–24 roses: The Love Story (18), L'Amour (20) or La Rosa (24).
- 25–100 roses: Abdo Grand Roses 25, 50 or 100 for milestone years.
- The big statement: Meet Me at the Altar (around 38–40 roses) or Ministry of Roses (160 stems).
Our guide how many roses: 12, 24, 50 or 100 covers what each number means.
Colour
- Red – deep, romantic love.
- Pink – affection and admiration. Softer, and lovely for parents' or grandparents' anniversaries.
- Red and white together – often read as unity. See Red and White Romance.
Bouquet or display piece?
If you're celebrating at a restaurant, a hat box design such as Love in a Hatbox or the Classic Rose Hat Box is easy to carry and needs no vase. For home, a vase arrangement such as Cherish, Rose Fleur or Ivory Elegance goes straight on the table.
What to write on the card
- "Happy anniversary – here's to many more."
- "[Number] years and I'd choose you every time."
- For parents: "Happy anniversary, Mum and Dad – thank you for showing us what love looks like."
