Roses are gorgeous flowers, captivating and are always in style. Roses come in a variety of colors, each color signifying a different thought. Giving a rose to someone is a great way to articulate your deepest emotions.
White is the traditional symbol of marriage, innocence, truth and virtue. White also signifies peace and tranquility. White roses are traditionally the preferred flowers for weddings. They are especially valued for their simple beauty and pure color. White roses carry so many meanings they can be confusing to the reciever, but they are usually given as an expression of deep emotions.
White roses signify deep, clear emotions. They are given without reservation or ambivalence. The red rose signifies lust or passion, but the white rose goes much deeper to suggest an infinite love that goes to the very core of one’s being. It carries an almost spiritual significance. White roses symbolize devotion, kindness, and deep friendship in love.
Bouquets consisting mostly of white roses are often carried by the bride in many weddings today, often symbolizing the virginity or innocence of the bride. This tradition and significance of white roses is said to have begun in 1840 during the wedding of Queen Victoria.
Also, these flowers can symbolize the traditional Victorian attributes of women: modesty and purity. A white rose bud, though, can symbolize those virtues in a unique way. It can stand for a girl who isn’t old enough to experience romantic love. This kind of girl isn’t a teenager yet, and is viewed as innocent and untainted. Like the white rose bud, she is sweet, graceful, and pure.
The white rose, or fascinating blue one, also signifies discretion. This color rose is an excellent way to show the recipient that they are delightful to be around, and are a dear friend. The color of a rose is important, and one should learn the meaning behind each color to understand the intricate meaning that may be conveyed.
These roses symbolize many virtuous qualities and traits we all highly treasure and wish we possess ourselves: loyalty, unity, honor, honesty, holiness, and truth. Roses are also the color of spirituality, making them peerless wedding adornments and flower of choice. Weddings represent love, loyalty, unity, new beginnings and spirituality, all great, awesome, qualities shared by our roses.
