Last week we explored
rose colours and their meanings, and today we'll look at some more of the hidden symbols in roses to discover more about the hidden meaning behind those Mothers Day roses you sent or received today!!!
For example, rosebuds symbolize beauty, youth and innocence, while a fully open rose with two rosebuds behind it means you share a secret. Rose leaves are a symbol of hope, and tea roses have a special meaning too! Sending someone tea roses is another way of saying to them: "I'll always remember you"
But if you really want to impress upon someone, you could consider sending them some roses every month. It doesn't matter how many you send, or what colour they are, but in doing so you are saying they are like ever new beauty (as well as emptying your wallet!)
So, now let's see what message is conveyed by the quantity of roses you've just received n that beautiful bouquet ....
 |
To say "I Love You",
send a single red rosebud |
| Roses | Meaning |
|---|
| 1 | A single red rose means “I love you”. A thornless rose signifies love at first sight. However, a single rose of any other colour than red simply means"Thank you" |
| 2 | I'm deeply in love with you. Two roses can also indicate an engagement or forthcoming marriage, and if the two roses are entwined together, this means "Marry me" |
| 3 | I love you |
| 5 | I love you more than you can imagine |
| 6 | I love you and miss you |

ReplyDeleteLove roses, they seem to wilt here in the Summer.
ReplyDeleteI love roses in all colors, shapes and sizes...really attracted to the buds and have fond memories of purchasing many in The Netherlands. It's been so long since actually "receiving" them, no telling what they were.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post, E!
Roses are beautiful and have so many meanings, that's what makes them so special, great post Erika.
ReplyDeleteLovely to read this about roses, Erika! Such a calming and fascinating array of these beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many have received 999 roses. :D
ReplyDeleteMe too, Jooles! And I've certainly never received 999 roses, Morrgan! Did once get a dozen though :)
ReplyDeletegreat read ! I once got one rose per month for a whole year, and I still don't know from whom ??
