Pay attention
Don't make assumptions
Be imaginative
Be romantic
Keep it simple
Scrub up
Involve the children
...and
Have a plan B

What is so appealing to women about roses? Or any flowers for that matter?

There's something so feminine about a rose. The way that it's shaped, the delicate and sinuous curves are a reminder of the feminine form. It's soft and silky texture a reminder of the softness of her skin and the tenderness of her heart.

The many colours of roses remind us of the huge variety of qualities a lady has that are particular to her as a woman. The closed petals seem to serve as a symbol of how much more there is to her than meets the eye, a veritable treasure chest of joy for the explorer of her heart.

But beware those pesky thorns! If you mishandle your lady, you may pay the price.

It's all about roses this Valentines Day. A rose, like a picture, is worth a thousand words. Spoil your love with Valentines roses this year. You won't regret it.
