But for those not looking to make that bold of a statement, she advises them to consider a different color.

"Yellow [signifies] friendship", said Mines. Thus, if you buy roses on about February 10, when they may be a little cheaper compared to Valentine's Day itself, you should be in the clear through February 14.
