 Mal,
You are right, I don't know why I didn't see that "couple of weeks", I looked twice.
Now the next important question. Valentines is Sunday so delivery is going to be Saturday in many places. So have them delivered early? or deliver them yourself? I'm in a stable Long term marriage BTW.

 If you are going to give her a single rose it should be REAL.
However, I like the idea Fatherly Advice suggested that you call her mom and ask her what color she likes best in roses. She might love white, pink, yellow better:)
Real Fake any time.
(alternative is that you look into the meaning of the color and type of flower - print it out and add it to the flower :) Very romantic.

I suppose at 18 to 20, and in a young relationship you can get away with a single rose on valentines. If you have been dating her for a year you should know more about her flower preference. A single Red rose is the default, what you get if you don't know better. A Dozen Red roses is what you get if you don't know better and you want to impress her with your ability to throw money around.
If you are in a young relationship, and you really want to impress her, call her mother and ask her what rose color she prefers. Then go to a good florist that you can afford. Buy a half dozen and have them arranged in a nice vase. Get them delivered before you will show up for the date. I guarantee good results.
Am I wrong ladies?

 Real of course. Unless it's a very good quality fake one (don't forget to spritz with perfume). Actually now that I think about it, either would be good!
