Rose meaning and symbolism is known by almost everyone - otherwise it wouldn’t be the most popularly sent flower on Valentine’s Day! This page honors the upcoming event, and explores the richness of rose meanings and its lush symbolism.
Some helpful keywords pertaining to symbolic rose meaning: Love, honor, faith, beauty, balance, passion, wisdom, intrigue, devotion, sensuality and timelessness.
In mythology, rose meaning is associated with Aphrodite (Greek) goddess of love who was often depicted adorned with roses around her head, feet and or neck. In lore, we track down this association when we discover that a rose bush grew within the pool of blood spilled from Aphrodite’s slain lover (Adonis).
In addition to being a symbol of love, the rose is also symbolic carrier of secrets or tacit understanding.
