How do roses sound in the language of flowers?

The language of flowers is a special term that demonstrates the impression or mood that a person should experience at the moment when he receives a flower or a whole bouquet. Today the language of flowers includes many explanations regarding different cultures, but more attention is paid to roses. It is worth making out what the "queen of flowers" is capable of telling.

The rose is undoubtedly the most attractive decoration in the garden and has been cultivated for over 5,000 years. For the first time, the flower appeared in ancient Rome, and at that time the culture consisted of no more than 10 varieties. Today, over 30 thousand varieties are known, and each has its own distinctive features, standing out:

• size;

• color;

• the number of petals.

And this is just a small part of the differences listed. When choosing a rose, it is not enough to take into account only the characteristics. It is also worth thinking about the basic meaning that the flower carries with it. Interestingly, in ancient Rome, roses were given only one meaning. Flowers acted as the main symbol of morality. Many warriors, before going on a long campaign, took off their head gear and instead of helmets, they wore wreaths with roses on their heads. It was believed that in this way they let courage into their hearts.

And also in Rome, the rose was considered a symbol of silence. And often the flower could be found over the dining table, at which it was not customary to talk. And if there was a conversation at some table during the feast, and a rose hung over the interlocutors, the visitors' task was to keep the conversation a secret.

The rose acquired romantic meaning only closer to the 19th century. Today, for example, dense buds evoke associations with innocence and youth... If you give a girl or a woman a bouquet in which there will be at least one young rose, he will directly inform about warm and sincere feelings, but at the same time he will emphasize that the chosen one is too young for a man.
