In Western literature, European roses such as Rosa gallica and Rosa ×alba have long symbolized beauty and love. The ancient Greeks and Romans used roses to symbolize their love gods Aphrodite and Venus. Roses come in different colors, and if you want to give one to a girl, you need to understand the language of flowers behind them! For example, one rose represents “you are my only one,” and three roses mean “I LOVE YOU.” Now, let’s understand the language of roses together!
The language of roses: Love, beauty, and radiance
The rose is known as “the flower of love.” Especially on February 14th, Valentine’s Day in the West, and on the 15th day of the first lunar month and the 7th day of the seventh lunar month, the Valentine’s Day in the East, young people swimming in the river of love all use this flower to express their feelings to their beloved.
In ancient Greek mythology, the rose embodies love and beauty. It is not only the embodiment of the beauty goddess but also contains the blood of the love god. It can be said that globally, the rose is a universal language to express love, forming an ever-lasting rose language culture.
