Online flower delivery India, has led to a marked increase in the prevalence of
roses. Not that they weren’t popular before. But people have taken to sending
flowers to loved ones, alive or dead, with a new zeal. What people overlook in
this craze is the meaning and symbolism attached to roses and their colors.
Each story has been gleaned from a long and parched history that began
thousands of years ago. Every color has vivid meanings based on how they’ve
been put to use in the past. Below is a list of all colors and their histories
and meanings to get you up to date with the flower you love so much.
1. PINK ROSE
The first written account of the pink rose dates back
5000 years. Historical evidence shows that the Chinese emperors grew this
gorgeous shade in their imperial gardens. Pink roses were also the first ones
to have been cultivated as opposed to the more common notion of red roses. The
robust growth of pink roses in the wild proves that nature intended roses to be
pink. They were used during the Victorian era as decorative pieces, present in
houses, wallpapers, décor and more.
The darkest shades are used to portray appreciation
and gratitude. Medium shades are perfect to propose to your first love and also
to help your friend get over a heartbreak. While the lighter shades show
gentleness and admiration.
2. YELLOW ROSE
The yellow rose has a more controversial history than
its other counterparts. They are generally associated with goodwill,
friendship, and optimism but can also portray love, warm feelings, and
well-being. The elusive yellow rose is the newest entrant to the collection
with the first wild ones discovered in the 18th century. Just like
the good fortune they symbolize, serendipity played a big role in their
discovery. They were found completely by chance in a wilderness in the Middle
East by herder who had no idea of its relevance. But as the story goes,
European traders found out about it and introduced it to the rest of the world.
18th and 19th centuries saw the popularity of roses rise
in general but no color was yet associated with friendliness. It was yellow who
finally took that crown.
It is the perfect flower to give to your ailing
employee without raising eyebrows or to your married friend without arousing
suspicion.
P.S. the earlier versions lacked the scent we so love
today. Scented roses were developed later.
3. RED ROSE
The red rose is the most iconic symbol of this entire
genre. Attached to love as a symbol of passion and undying affection, the red
rose has been around for thousands of years. It finds its earliest mentions in
Greek and Roman mythology as the favorite flowers of the Goddesses of Beauty,
Aphrodite and Venus. Ages later, they were associated with the virtue of Virgin
Mary, as a symbol of purity. But it gained vast traction in the Victorian era
as a surreptitious proclamation of love. They are the perfect choice for your
romantic partner, wife, lover or friend.
