Are plastic roses appropriate for Valentine's Day or are they a symbol of fake love?

Answer 1

NO. Don't get your spouse a plastic rose for Valentine's Day. It could be considered a symbol of fake love, so if you really love your spouse, then I suggest you get them a real rose, or two. Or a dozen.

Since plastic flowers are most often seen decorating gravesites, I'd say that it might possibly be a not-so-subtle hint that the affair may be over.

YEA! there is a story where a man gave his lover a dozen roses, all of which were real but one, he said to her "My love for you will end when the last flower in this bouquet dies." ....if you don't get it that means it'll never end! duh.

but you cant just throw fake flowers at yer lover and groan "haph valentine.." you have to make it look like more than it is, not just flowers but yer <3. that's what valentines is about, expressing your love, not throwing meaningless flowers-that-would-be-dead-in-a-week around.
