Just as each rose color means something different, the exact number also contributes to the symbolic effect.
If you want to express deeply felt, passionate love, choose only a few roses. A single one symbolizes love at first sight, three roses say "I love you!" Two roses symbolize mutual love and are therefore particularly suitable for couples.
The more roses there are, the more differentiated their meaning. If you give away exactly 108 roses, you propose marriage without words. 40 roses stand for sincerity and honestly felt love. 15 roses are suitable to ask for forgiveness. With them you are saying through the flower that you are sorry for something.
