Send Two Dozen Roses: Much of the appeal of two dozen roses can be traced to the associations that we make with the number twenty-four. Just as the number twelve has symbolic overtones that extend to the tradition of sending one dozen roses, the number 24 carries its own symbolism which is echoed in a bouquet of two dozen roses.
An obvious representation of the number 24 is the number of hours in the day. Thus, each rose in a bouquet of 24 roses can correspond to an hour, and indicate that the person is loved or appreciated throughout the day. Two dozen roses also reminds one of the purity of 24 carat gold. The number 24 is often used to symbolize happiness, love, and creativity. The traditional romantic message of 24 roses is that of complete devotion, or "I am yours."
Two dozen roses can also be chosen to have twice the impact of a traditional bouquet of a dozen roses. An arrangement of two dozen can be used to doubly convey a sentiment and can leave quite an impression.
