Roses are Red My Love...



A Red Rose signifies love and its associated to an emotion of giving the other a special place in your heart / conveying love to the other.

The rose is the national flower of England. The language of flowers, sometimes called Floriography, was a Victorian-era means of communication in which various flowers and floral arrangements were used to send coded messages, allowing individuals to express feelings which otherwise could not be spoken.

This language was most commonly communicated through small flower bouquets, an art which has a following today.

Roses have been an essential part of my garden ; my Dad loves them and they need special care like trimming, watering. They come in different colors and each color has a meaning. 



Red roses indicate passion and romantic love, while yellow roses signify friendship and devotion. Roses are traditionally given on Valentine's Day, but they're certain to be well-received any time of year.
