Meaning of Roses

Did you know that every flower has a hidden meaning? A hidden message that you send to whomever you give a flower, regardless of whether you give the flower to a friend or lover. This is known as the flower language. The flower language covers almost every flower and roses are no exception. And roses might perhaps contain the most well known of all statements made in the flower language. I am talking of course about the meaning of red roses. The universal symbol of love.

But Red roses are not the only once with a meaning. In fact all roses have their own meaning and the color of the roses is not the only factor that effects the meaning of the roses you give away. The number of roses does also effect the meaning of roses.

It is also possible to effect the meaning of the roses you give away by how you combine them. An example on how the combinations effect the meaning of roses are a bouquet of red and white roses. Red roses in themselves symbolises love and white roses affection, the meaning of red and white roses combined however are unity and eternal friendship.

It can be important to have a basic understanding of the meaning of roses to avoid sending the wrong signals to people. Sending a red rose to some one leading them to wrongfully believe that you love them is one example another example could be to send a black rose to some one. While a black rose is very beautiful it is also a symbol for death and could be misinterpreted as a threat by some one who knows and believes in the meaning of roses. Although most people would probably just accept it as a gift for its beauty never giving a second thought to any hidden meaning (intended or otherwise) in the roses they just received.
