Commenting on the findings, Lucia Polla, marketing manager at SerenataFlowers.com, said: 'I suspect roses will always remain firmly at the top of the list when it comes to the most popular flowers.
'Trends come and go, for example in recent years we’ve seen a rise in demand for British flowers and exotic flower varieties, but roses have been given as a symbol of love for centuries and offer such charm and beauty it’s easy to see why so many Instagram users feel compelled to photograph them.
'It’s also comes as no surprise that roses are the number one most commonly bought flower on our website, together with lilies.'
