<< It probably means the guy saw them and thought "these look nice." >>
seriously.
This is how I buy flowers:
Me: walks into flower store.
Me: "I want to buy 1 dozen roses for my girlfriend"
Flower lady: "what color do you want?"
Me: "I'm not sure, what color do you think she'd like?"
Flower Lady: "well, I think red is overdone, but we've got these really nice peach colored roses here."
Me: "Looks great, give me 12"
I mean really, you think guys keep track of what meaning each shade of rose is suppsoed to have? We are, after all, guys.
