From what I understand, "flower language" is pretty old-fashioned, almost ancient, harking back to the days that one could not say some things out loud. In modern times, as I understand it, it's "anything goes". Even if you research the intricate, nuanced meanings of Victorian-era flower language, your recipient likely won't get the meaning. Although, personally speaking, I associate red roses with romance and passion, but even this is tenuous nowadays. You can give red roses to anyone. But I dunno. I still wouldn't give a single red rose to anyone I wasn't interested in romantically.
