Beauty Behind Every Flower


In every special occasion or just an ordinary day, flowers are given to cheer up somebody or to let them feel they are important and that they are love. One of the most popular flower is the rose and it comes in varieties of sizes and colors. Roses inspired people over thousands of years to develop a language of color. When you specifically choose a color, variety of number of roses for someone, you are personalizing your gift with deeper sentiment. Some people may not really understand what each color of the roses convey, it might have a different meaning from what you intend. Roses have been in existence for around 32 million years, and have been used for many reasons since the ancient civilizations including the Greeks, Romans, and Persians.


Roses have been bred to be colorful, fragrant, and hearty for thousands of years. Although a rose of any color can simply mean gratitude and simplicity, over time they have been attributed to a variety of emotions and occasions. There are actually six different colors of roses that have associated with different emotions. The most popular is the red rose which symbolizes love and they are given to those who you want to show love and passion, people who you have great respect for, and those who have shown great courage. Pink is for showing gratitude, while orange is for desire and enthusiasm white is for purity and lavender is for enchantment. Lastly is the yellow rose, which is my favorite of all roses. 


Throughout history, yellow has been closely related to the sun, making these type of roses excellent for cheering people up. Yellow roses send a message of appreciation and platonic love without the romantic subtext of other colors. The color yellow represents feelings of joy and delight and it shows a warm feeling that are often shared to a true friend. It will always brighten my day every time I am down.
