In our time, the language of inflorescences and complex bouquets is practically forgotten. But flowers such as white roses will not soon lose their meaning. Accordingly, the question of whether it is appropriate to give white roses remains open.
White roses - a graceful hint of feelings
In ancient times, flowers could help a man tell a girl he liked about his feelings, because even the strongest men sometimes begin to feel embarrassed when trying to express emotions. The most common flower has always been the rose.
Christian legends say that the Archangel Gabriel himself, in order to comfort the Mother of God, weaved wreaths of roses of different colors for her. A white rose was a symbol of joy, a red rose was a symbol of suffering, and a yellow rose spoke of future glory. In our time, red and yellow roses have changed their symbolism, but white has remained a symbol of innocence, joy and purity.
When a man gives a woman a bouquet of white roses, he shows her admiration and willingness to care. White roses act as a hint of sincerity of feelings and seriousness of intentions. Roses of this color are associated with conservatism, restraint and aristocracy, so girls perceive such a bouquet as an innocent gift.
The tradition of giving white roses to brides came from Greece. The doors to the bride's house were decorated with roses, and the bride was crowned with a wreath of roses braided with myrtle.
The universal language of white flowers
White roses are good because they do not hint at passion or sex, they help to rekindle the flame of love. Girls usually perceive such a gift correctly. White roses are perceived by them as the opposite of scarlet, which scream about mad passion, fleeting love, and so on. White ones symbolize a more sublime feeling, which is why they are used to decorate weddings, brides' dresses or use them during a marriage proposal. A huge bouquet of twenty-five white roses is often perceived as the proposal itself. In some ways, this is even more romantic than the traditional version.
However, white roses are an excellent option for a mother's gift, because mother's love is pure and unconditional, and the most beautiful white flowers are a symbol of just such spiritual love.
It is believed that a bouquet of eleven roses can only be given by a husband to his wife, and bouquets of four or seven roses cannot be given to anyone at all, because it brings misfortune.
If you want to tell the girl about your sincere feelings, try giving her a bouquet that combines both white and scarlet roses. These bouquets are especially good if you want to make peace with your beloved. Instead of two kinds of flowers, you can try to find roses with white petals with scarlet edging.
