Who doesn’t like roses? We all like roses, but we don’t always know enough behind them, like what is the meaning of white roses or on what kind of occasions we should give them. That is why I want you to know what the mysticism, history is and social and cultural meaning behind these beautiful roses.
We generally have in mind that roses are the sensual and romantic symbol par excellence that we can share with our partner to demonstrate a passionate and fervent love. But each rose has a different meaning, as well as a way of being given or presented to someone, that is why we must know what roses are like and what is the meaning of each one of them, whether they are red, white or yellow, since each one of them has a reason to occur and symbolically represent some emotion that you want to express or manifest.
There is so much appreciation for these flowers that their meaning has transcended over the years through poetry, such as the famous poem by José Marti “Cultivation of a white rose”, which in a few words tells us the sincerity of the feelings that a rose hides about friendship, love, betrayal and perseverance that we must have in life and thus “cultivate” ourselves.
There are so many things that we can learn from these flowers that staying on the lookout will not be enough. I want to delve into the meaning of these flowers. I want you to understand why these flowers are so requested for the creation of bridal bouquets or for first communions, and for you to learn all about it, you have to continue reading what is written below in this article.
What do you need:
- White roses
Instructions
- They are a sign of honesty. If you want to let someone know that your love and support is sincere, then giving them a white rose may be the way to go. White roses symbolize purity, honesty and hope, so they are ideal to show appreciation and support to a person, but more than anything to show sincerity and purity, either as a way to emphasize the purity of that person or the purity of our feelings.
- For this type of reason, this type of roses is very common in the bouquets of brides and girls who make their first communion, as they reflect the purity and kindness of the person or the feelings they are expressing. In fact, in the particular case of brides, white roses in combination with red roses are a sign of love and purity, that is, it is about transmitting a pure but real and very strong love, as well as the hope of maintaining that love and may it continue for a long time.
- White roses also represent the wish of hope. When we give someone a white rose, we could also be expressing our desire for a long and unique union. For these types of reasons, these roses are commonly used to express eternal love and the desire for a long and prosperous relationship with our partner. Because they are roses that express purity and innocence, they also symbolize the desire for a relationship free of vices or evils that can break or wear it down. The person who gives you a bouquet of white roses possibly also wants you to love him sincerely and that it be a love free of banalities or negative feelings that can alienate you from that person.
- White roses also reflect happiness. A prosperous life, full of joy and happiness can be the greatest dream of almost anyone. That is why if you give someone this type of roses, you are possibly showing your good intentions so that that person can be happy throughout their lives.
- Unlike red roses, white roses do not show passionate or fervent love, but pure love, which is why they are ideal to share with dear and close friends, family, siblings or our partners, you just have to know when and how. Give them if the roses are for someone who is not our partner, such as a brother or friend, and then you can give them a bouquet of yellow and white roses. Yellow roses have a double meaning, from a warning or a wish for a cautious life, to joy and prosperity, which is why mixing white and yellow roses can be ideal to reflect a sincere wish for luck and progress.
- If it is about thanking someone sincerely for an event, then you can mix white roses that reflect honesty and purity, with pink roses that reflect gratitude and goodwill towards someone. This would be a perfect gift for a good friend who has supported us or for our parents for taking care of us and helping us throughout our lives. It would be an ideal bouquet of flowers to give our mother on Mother’s Day or her birthday, as we would thank her for bringing us into the world and for supporting us throughout our lives. This would be an ideal gift.
- If what we want is to support someone who is going through a difficult time, sharing a bouquet of white roses with blue roses will be a good way to show support and help reduce their anguish due to a difficult situation they are experiencing. This is ideal for those who have gone through a breakup, a funeral, a work or family problem that makes them anxious, nervous or sad.
- Another very important meaning that we must highlight about white roses is that they also express a lot of attention and interest in someone, as well as comfort in the presence of said person, that is why they are perfect to give to a person we like or a best friend. Or friend, since that is how we express all that love and interest in that person and the importance they have for us.
- As white roses also symbolize purity and hope, they are ideal to give at funerals to hurt people, since in this way the person receives our intention to overcome that bad moment, overcoming the mourning and the difficulties derived from the loss of that person. And have a good progress in the future to have a calm and stable life despite everything that has happened. They are also perfect roses to show a new future and a new beginning after this pain.
Tips
- These types of roses are also good to put on the grave of a loved one, as they show the purity of the feelings we had for that person in life as well as our desire for that person to have a good future in the next life. And the hope of happiness after this.
- They really are roses that we can share with all people thanks to the multiple meanings they have. But we must be careful when to give them and in what way, since depending on what other flowers we combine them with or if we give them alone, the meaning may vary.
