Thinking about getting roses for your lover? Unsure on which color to get? We don't blame you. It can be confusing. Here's a little guide:

• Dark red rose: unconscious beauty
• White rose: purity, innocence, reverence, silence

• Yellow rose: joy, friendship, the promise of a new beginning
• Orange rose: desire and enthusiasm

So why, exactly, do we give our loved ones flowers on Valentine's Day? ProFlowers.com has the answer:

The history of giving your loved one Valentine’s Day flowers comes from the old-fashioned custom of sending floral bouquets to pass on non-verbal messages. Introduced in the 18th century by Charles II of Sweden, each flower had a specific meaning attached to it, making it possible to have an entire conversation using only flowers. Today, people continue to send flowers on special occasions or to express sentiments of love and admiration.

Flowers not really your thing? Still unsure of what to buy? How about taking your pookie bear out for some free coffee on Valentine's Day?

Best of luck, you loving lover. May 2/14/17 be your best one yet!
