Meaning of Roses
 Copyright by Eva Moutisheva The “language” of flowers has been most popular in Victorian England ages, at the peak of the so called “flower flirts”, conducted through flowers symbolizing different messages. One of the most popular flowers, the Rose, can represent different feelings depending on its color. A beautiful rose can change the atmosphere of a room and provoke positive emotions, but it also bears an unspoken message. Very often roses tend to say more than we, people, dare to reveal. For centuries they have had symbolic meaning, and there are some common features that remain even today.
The number of roses is also significant. A single rose means love, 12 roses show gratitude and respect, 25 roses are used for greetings, and the classical 50 or 100 rose’s bouquets symbolize eternal love. |
