Do girls like Carnations?

I was just informed from a friend of mine that (please read):



"Carnations are a filler flower, commonly known as "redneck roses." I HATE carnations. No, not just hate, I despise carnations. They're just the most wretched litttle flowers. And, yeah, yeah, I know, it's the thought that counts, but if a guy is going to go out and buy a girl flowers, he should at least be spending more than $5 for a handful of carnations. Wildflowers picked off the side of the highway are preferable to carnations. Hell, I'd take a bunch of dandelions over carnations anyday. Please spread the word to men everywhere to STOP BUYING CARNATIONS!!! I don't know a single girl in my generation who likes them."



I was wondering if this is a widely held sentiment among women before I commit a tragic mistake.



Thanks.

Girls like Roses! :)
Reply:Never give a girl carnations without roses...unless she is so extremely frugal that it would impress her, or else you're married to her and living on an acknowledged, very tight budget.
Reply:I actually HATE roses - SO CLICHE! I looovee carnations - I find them to have a softer smell, look and color. I tell my man tons of times to save $ and get me what I really want. I dont care if carnations are 50 cents - that is what I want! Some women associate carnations with funerals. If you hate carnations then find another flower other than roses or carnations.
Reply:Yes Yes and Yes your friend is right. They are like the filler flowers at funerals too. Never give carnations to a woman unless---she sez ohhh I just love carnations, that's the only time to give them.
