Never buy your wife roses. Women who receive roses feel empowered although they would never admit it. I've been married 17 years and never done it once and my wife adores me.
Don't give off wuss vibes, you'll regret it. |

to me roses signify that an apologie for f#%king someone else is forthcoming. i'd rather get daisy's or carnations. |

do it randomly.. not when you are always upset with each other or special events.. Do it when she doesnt expect it.. Makes you feels special and knowing your thinking about her* |

Once a month, and not just roses, other flowers are nice too...even picked from the garden. I makes a woman feel special, and thought about. |

As already mentioned above roses are a 'mans' flower.
Most women prefer something else.
You need to figure out what that is and surprise your wife with that. |

Hard Truth

roses -- even just a flower bouquet -- have become rather over rated. I like to get them occasionally - once a year at a random time maybe -- NOT for a specific event/holiday/birthday/reason, but ' just because.' |
|

Common sense isn't anymore..
|
Personally I prefer other flowers than roses, and I get them probably once a month or so from my husband.
It is nice to know he thinks of me and is making the effort to be romantic. |

I love getting flowers! But if you do it too often, it may not be as special anymore. Buy them when you want to surprise her - if she's having a bad day, if she's stressed, or for special occasions. :) |

My husband is very thoughtful and gets flowers sent to my work to surprise me. It's nice to know he's thinking about me!
I'd say once every three months or so? If you do it too often, it won't be special. |
|

who knows
 |
not like everyday. make it more like a surprise just mix it up once a week twice once every two weeks. it makes us feel loved like you care. and that you were thinking of us and wanting to be sweet and make me happy. it's like a thank you for all we do. |

Awwwww
I don't have a hubby anymore to buy flowers but even when my girlfriends buy them for me I love it. Don't do it all the time though, maybe every couple of months, that way it will make it all the more special.
I'm jealous..Lol |

Whenever you feel like it; and are able to afford them. Not just on those holidays which society says is important... It always feels very nice to know that someone thinks your special enough for them to take the time to buy flowers. |

How often does she like to receive them?
I don't like flowers, personally, to me it seems a total waste of money. I'd rather order a pizza. If my husband showed up with flowers, it would be cute the first time, but anything beyond that would just seem stupid. |

Only every once in a while. If you do it all the time then it won't be special. I love it when my husband does sweet stuff like that for me. I also love it when he does chores without asking. :) That's the best. |

I don't need roses. Any flower would do. Any time. Even it it was once every 6 months I would love it. The only time I seem to receive them is mothers day and my birthday and maybe valentines day. I would love any other random time. It would be so sweet. |

I actually don't like roses. They remind me of death. I tell my husband please dont get me roses..I have flower gardens all around the house to enjoy and once in a while I go out and cut some and bring them in. I prefer a wild arrangement...my man knows where to go...and he picks them out and the lovely lady arranges them. |

I would suggest a couple of times a year, but buy them on day that has no special significance. It means so much more to me that way. Make it random. I also get a box of Godiva truffles every now and then; they are my favorite. Or maybe a card left on her pillow. Change it up so it doesn't get predictable. |
|

say it all...
|
I'm not a fan of roses - they die much to quickly for my liking...I prefer wildflowers and my hubby picks them seasonally for me. Just about every other week as long as they are blooming. Otherwise - I'll get a bouquet for myself over the winter when I'm feeling down. There are other gifts I truly appreciate more... |

i agree, i like them randomly. My husband does about twice a year (sometimes less) I wish he would more often. He seems to think I do not like flowers because I feel that giving them on customary days (ie valentines, anniversary etc) is so played out and would prefer just because flowers instead. H*ll the most recent flowers i got randomly were from my dad!! |

I LOVE getting flowers! I like roses, but I love other flowers too...
I think I like all kinds of flowers.
You should get roses maybe once a month (roughly) and get it when she least expects it! Maybe send it to her when she is at work. Or just randomly pop up at the door with flowers. You can think of a million ways, I am sure. But definitely when she least expects it. |

I actually prefer handpicked flowers. For some reason I just like the fact that he is thinking of me, and taking the time to make something for me. Even if it's a note, email, or hand picked flowers. Not all the time, then it wouldn't mean so much. When you see she is having a hard day, or just one day coming home from work you see some flowers (weeds lol) along the road pick them tell her your thinking of her.
The little things make women happy. Doing the dishes, picking up the house, writing love notes leaving them in her car seat, things like that make a women feel appreciated. |

If her favorite flower is the rose... just surprise her now and then with one. It doesn't have to be red, it doesn't have to be a bouquet. It can be a single white rose, or pink, or whatever her favorite color is. To be used to best effect? You may want to do it on days when she's seemed particularly down, or when she's having some stress with work or similar issues.
Don't always stick to roses though. And be spontaneous. If you do it on a schedule, then she could come to -expect- it. Do it sparingly, but lovingly and mean it. |

Im not a item kinda of girl. i like stuff like cooked dinners or walking in the park. but flowers makes me feel like the person is actually thinking of you. you can find other things that interest her like a favorite song, a nice hot bubble bath, scented lotion or even some peaches and whip cream. just do the things that shell remember. |

American Floral Association reports that over 90% of all purchases are for a special occasion.
In a married man's case it is most likely to honor a special day or to get him out of the dog house!
The MINORITY do those small, special things that make THEIR wife the exciting milf that she is and the man, by treating her like a princess gets the hot wife he desires.
Do it "just because" and vary your gestures. Don't make the expression of your love routine. |

I agree with randomly, it doesn't have to be roses either, you can buy whatever is pretty just to say I love you. But you can do other things too not jsut buy flowers. Me and my husband have been stuggling finacially so if he bought me flowers even knowing his intentions I would be mad unless he picked them himself or something. Him cleaning the house would be even more of a gesture of appreciation and love. |

You should do it whenever you feel like doing something nice or whenever you feel she deserves them. My boyfriend get me flowers on a daily basis and it's to much every time he goes to the store for something he comes back with flowers and now when i get them it's like nothing because he does it so often. So don't make it a regular thing or she will get to use to them. but it's really nice to get flowers like once every week or every other week. |

Well you would want to do it for all the special ocasions like Valentine's Day, Birthday etc. I would recomend once between every special ocasion, Let's say if her birthday is after mother's day (assuming you have kids) then you buy her flowers between those two dates once. That way she feels that you didn't do it because it is an official hollyday only. You want to do it often enough where she doesn't forget when was the last time you did it, but don't overdo it that just takes away the surprise element.
My husband used to bring me live flowers sometimes, planted them and placed them on the patio so I can see them from the kitchen. It lasted all season long. Every time I looked at it it made me feel special.
On mothers day he used to get one bouquet for each child and one for him to give me. It made me feel good when he did that, but this year when he didn't I felt the pain.
Sometimes it is not how a woman feels when she gets the flowers, but rather what she would feel if she didn't. I used to say that even when my hubby skipps a date its fine because he takes care of the kids, does dishes, laundry, cleanes house and many other things that men think it is a woman's job. But when he did skip a date like this year, my hears skipps a beat and it doesn't feel good.
So keep doing it. |
