Its symbolism has changed over time, yet it still conveys deep emotions. From the warmth of friendship to hidden messages… its history continues to unfold.
✨ A flower of light… and of shadows. But in the end, does its meaning lie in history… or in the hands of the one who gives it?

Over time, it shed its negative connotations and became a symbol of deep and enduring bonds.
It is often gifted to celebrate achievements, birthdays, or simply to brighten someone’s day.

A Flower with a Double Me aning...
In Victorian floriography, it carried contradictory messages.
With red roses 🌹💛 → "Happiness in love."
Alone and without a note → "I no longer love you" or even "Jealousy."
Luckily, today they are mainly associated with friendship and joy.

Unlike other roses that symbolize romance or mystery, yellow roses represent warmth, joy, and optimism.
💛 Their vibrant petals evoke the sun, making them perfect for gardens and celebrations.
But… did you know their meaning hasn’t always been so positive?

Native to the Middle East, particularly Iran and Afghanistan.
They were unknown in Europe until the 18th century when explorers brought them back, fascinated by their color.
At first, their fragrance was weak, but hybridization enhanced it, making them more fragrant over time.

The Rose of Fleeting Love and Unexpected Connections
In floriography, a purple rose symbolized an intense and sudden attraction, but not necessarily a lasting one.
It’s linked to those moments when chemistry is undeniable, yet destiny follows its own path. Have you ever felt something like that?

Purple has historically been a color linked to nobility, divinity, and authority. In ancient Rome, only emperors were allowed to wear it.
In the language of flowers, the purple rose represented an extraordinary love—an almost mystical feeling, hard to explain but impossible to ignore.

In the Victorian era, the purple rose was considered the flower of the enigmatic, the spiritual, and the supernatural. It was said that wearing one on your lapel could attract revelations or prophetic dreams.
In some cultures, it represents respect, admiration, or the fascination someone inspires.

The Silent Goodbye
Today, white roses appear at funerals, farewells… but also at weddings.

In the 15th century, the House of York used the white rose as its emblem in the Wars of the Roses, a battle for the English throne against the House of Lancaster (whose symbol was the red rose 🌹).
Their struggle ended with the unification of both into the Tudor Rose, a symbol of peace.

“Beneath the Rose” Meant Secret
In ancient Rome, placing white roses in meeting rooms meant that everything spoken there had to remain absolutely confidential.
This tradition gave rise to the phrase sub rosa, which we still use today to refer to secrecy.

🌊 A Flower Born from the Sea
According to Greek mythology, the first white rose emerged from the ocean foam when Aphrodite rose from the waves.
The Romans linked it to Venus, but not as a symbol of passion—instead, it represented pure and unconditional love.

Today, the red rose is the symbol of romance, but in the 19th century, the pink rose was the preferred choice for discreet love confessions.
It was a "I care for you" without the intensity of passion, ideal for the early stages of a relationship.

In the 19th century, when expressing affection was difficult, floriography emerged as the 'language of flowers.'
💌 A red rose was a secret love confession. Accepting it meant 'yes,' returning it meant 'no.'
And if the roses were wilted, it was a sign of rejected love.

In Chinese tradition, the number of roses changes the meaning of the message:

x3 🌹 "I love you".
x9 🌹 "Eternal love".
x99🌹 "I will love you forever."
x108 🌹 "Will you marry me?"

The Red Rose has symbolized love for over 4,000 years. In Greece, it was Aphrodite’s flower; in Rome, Venus’s. But it didn’t always mean romance.
In Ancient Egypt, it stood for resurrection and eternity. Rose crowns have been found in pharaohs’ tombs.

🖤 Enigmatic and full of meaning, the Black Rose symbolizes the end but also renewal.
Black roses don’t exist naturally either. 🌑 They are actually dark red roses or dyed ones. They symbolize mystery, endings, and transformation… because every closure is the beginning of something new.

💙 Blue roses don’t exist in nature.
They are dyed or created through genetic modifications. 🔵✨ That’s precisely why they represent the impossible… the very thing that inspires us to keep dreaming.
Some goals seem distant until one day we take the first step.

Gratitude, admiration, tenderness… not all gestures of love need grand words.
In the Victorian era, a pink rose 🌸 said what was sometimes difficult:
'I value you,' 'I appreciate you,' 'Thank you for being here.'
Today, it remains a symbol of sincere affection that expects nothing in return.
