The history of rose flowers

Throughout the history of the gift of bouquets, the language of flowers has been formed. Roses can say a lot, and above all the feelings of the giving person. These flowers are chosen as a gift by self-confident people, standing firmly on their feet, who value stability and comfort.

The Greeks spoke of the rosebud as a symbol of infinity, since the rose is round in shape, and the circle has no beginning or end. In addition, the leaves in the rosebud are twisted so tightly that it cannot be unwrapped, but as soon as it opens, its petals begin to fade. The captivating, but short-lived beauty of the rose reminds of the short duration of beauty, that human life is fleeting.

From Greece, the rose came to Rome and was considered a symbol of morality during the times of the republic. Going on a campaign, the Roman soldiers took off their helmet and instead put on wreaths of roses, since it was believed that this was how courage was poured into their hearts.

Also, a rose was considered a symbol of bravery - on the day of the triumphal entry into Rome, Scipio the African famous Roman commander, allowed his soldiers to carry bouquets of roses in their hands, and in order to perpetuate the memory of the bravery of the soldiers, he ordered to knock images of roses on their shields.

However, there was another unexpected rose symbol - silence. Rose did not save a single chatterbox's life. During the feasts, artificial roses were hung in the halls, attaching them to the ceiling, dedicated to Harpocrates - the god of silence.

In the 19th century, the language of rose flowers had already become an exclusively love character, but at the same time they were distinguished by the varieties of roses: for example, giving an Austrian rose meant - with great love. Quiet love is a white rose, shy love is damask, and infidelity was attributed to a yellow rose. However, it also mattered with what flowers in the bouquet the rose was connected.

Throughout the history of giving, rich and long, the meaning of the color of roses has improved, and the flowers themselves have undergone many changes. If we talk about the basics and principles of the language of a bouquet of roses, then the most important thing is the number, color, shape and type of buds.
