Many varieties roses grow in the gardens in Battery Park City Parks. Among the varieties of white, pinks and reds are the Henry Hudson white roses, a very fragrant variety of beach rose near Rector Gate. Red roses are closely identified with love, but each color specified a type of love to the Victorians who documented the language of flowers. Pink roses signify graceful love, white means purity or a heart unacquainted with love, and purple roses symbolize enchantment.

Create something special for your valentine. Make your own valentines with dried flowers, lace and ribbon, and an assortment of papers. If you wish, bring a photograph or some other memento to personalize your valentine.
