Why an odd number of roses?
In many parts of the world sending an even number of flowers is actually an insult. While in the US a dozen roses would be lovely, people in the Ukraine, CIS, and Russia are counting to make sure the number is odd. 21 flowers (not 12, or 24) is culturally much better and leaves the recipient smiling.
