"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." William Shakespeare We love that roses are called roses at Dalton's and yes that they do smell sweet. Roses have so much meaning, but the meaning that we love best is how our customers perceive them. If you send roses, they should take your loved one's breath away. We will be happy to share rose colors meanings with you; however, the most important message they send is the way that they make someone feel!
