A dozen ways to say i love you

From my lovely dh of course ;)

little known:

A dozen roses given in a bouquet represents a traditional, classic romance, but can symbolize something more specific, such as a dozen ways that I love you.

A dozen roses traditionally send a message of love and gratitude.
Primary Significance: Thinking of you 12 months a year

the number most commonly associated with roses is one dozen. The traditional connotation of one dozen roses is love and appreciation, and when we think of a bouquet of roses, it is most often comprised of one dozen stems. This is a custom that has arisen from the significance of the number twelve within many aspects of nature, religion, and philosophy.

One dozen roses have also become a representation of perfection and completeness.

The number twelve is often used to represent a complete cycle, such as the 12 months in the year, the 12 hours on the clock or the 12 signs of the zodiac. In fact, cultures around the world from ancient to modern times have developed calendars based on cycles of twelve. The number appears throughout mythological and religious traditions as well. The recurrence of the number twelve across the natural and spiritual world has given it a sacred and mystical quality which is universal. These aspects all play into the significance of one dozen roses.
