I've received red roses as well as other roses and various flowers from people I was not romantically involved with.
I was adopted on Valentines Day. When I was a child, that particular day was treated as though it were another birthday. I used to get lots of candy as well as some kid toy type thing. Then when I hit my later teen years and into my adult years, my mom and dad would switch up roses they had for me. Some years, it was red roses, other years it was a mix between red, white, and pink. They send me roses and various flowers every single year for Valentines Day.
When I graduated high school and tech school, my grandparents had sent a huge bouquet of red roses with a handwritten note saying how much they loved me and how proud they were.
On my 21st birthday, my best friend from home, who happens to be a guy, sent me a bouquet of red roses. He did it simply because he knew I loved them so much. He did the same for my 30th birthday as well as included 2 white roses because they looked so cool.
