The Meaning Of 12 Red Roses

By: Elizabeth Crosthon Home | Shopping-and-Products


Very few things convey the feeling of love and adoration better than a dozen fresh red roses. Fossil evidence shows that roses are at least 35 million years old and better than 150 different species thrive on six of the seven continents, though none so revered as the red rose.

For more than 5000 years people have been growing roses. Not only were they grown for their beauty they were used for their oils as natural medications and perfumed scents as well as using their petals as confetti; tossed in the air at parades and parties

While the repressed and extremely formal Victorians used flower types and colors to express sentiments not considered proper to speak, the practice of red roses being linked to love extends to ancient Rome. That culture of elegance and style often used symbolic means of expression including flowers, but the complex system of hidden meanings really became prominent with the Victorians. In that time, many different flowers other than roses began to be included.

Nothing conveys the message of true love than a bouquet of a dozen fresh red roses. The stunning colors of a bouquet of 12 red roses are only one way of conveying significant meaning. The state of their bloom also conveys different messages. An unopened bunch of roses symbolize youth and innocence while roses that are fully opened and in full bloom symbolize love in full bloom and are suitable for anniversaries

Just as the form of the bloom carries importance, so does the number of roses given. A single rose bud communicates simplicity, which is why it is a favorite among new, young romantics. A full bouquet of a dozen fresh red roses says, "I love you still."

Pink roses, too, carry important messages. Each shade of pink has a different meaning: Dark pink roses represent appreciation and respect, while the lighter shades show sympathetic feelings. Incorporating a mix of both red and pink rosebuds means that you find the recipient very beautiful and vibrant.

Roses are very valuable because they can be very hard to grow. Just ask anyone that has tried to grow perfect roses. A dozen fresh red roses are usually in high demand. It is easy to order flower delivery over the phone or online. This makes is very easy to send the person you love a message containing your feelings.
