Can anyone help me with theatre traditions regarding flowers?
Is it traditionally red carnations or red roses that are thrown onto the stage after a performance? I have a feeling it's carnations but I wanted to pass on the bloom in person (my friend is in a production tonight), so I thought a red rose would be more appropriate.
Can any thesps out there advise me on the conventions?

Don't worry about convention, just give your friend whatever their favourite is

What a lovely friend you are.
I think red carnations are traditional for throwing onto the stage but Roses are what you would hand to someone, espically as a single bloom. Go with the rose and enjoy the show.

red roses! always look good means love and look glamorous!i don't really think it matters as i worked in theatre for years and years and saw every kind of flower going!! usually people tried to see who'd got the biggest bouquet!! lol!
