Roses, especially long stem roses, are the most popular flowers in the world.
Seen as symbols of love, friendship, and life itself, they grow in hundreds of varieties and thousands of color combinations. They’re grown all over the world, including Europe, Asia, North America, and South America, and can even be found growing wild. But what makes roses so appealing, and what do we actually know about these amazing buds?.
Thought to be the most beautiful flower, long stem roses add a touch of class and romance to any occasion, which has helped make them so popular throughout the world.
We first see roses become popular in Greek and Roman culture, where it was tied to the Goddess of Love, Venus or Aphrodite. In later years, it was seen as a symbol of the Virgin Mary.
In the 1800s, European roses were crossbred with those from China, and their popularity soared.
These crossbred long stem roses were big, bright, and fragrant, making them an attractive way to express your feelings and also gave gardeners a chance to show their stuff by growing their own breeds of roses. We even see them enter the pop culture at the time, as they were included in many plays and literary pieces. William Shakespeare wrote the most famous reference: “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”
As long stem roses become more popular, they began to be used to communicate many different emotions
A bouquet of long stem roses traditionally means, “I will always remember you;” although, as the years have gone by it’s also become a symbol of romantic intent. Within the different varieties of roses, we see a vast array of colors, like red, pink, yellow, and white, which have also come to mean different things.
• Red: a red rose symbolizes love and romance and is the perfect way to say I love you.
• Pink: pink roses convey happiness, joy, gladness, and admiration, making them an excellent gift for a mentor or as part of a wedding bouquet.
• Yellow: yellow roses are a symbol of friendship because they create warm and happy feelings.
• White: white roses signify purity, innocence, and charm. These are also a common choice for weddings but would also be a perfect gift for a new mom.
