Everything's Coming Up Roses--Symbolism, Meaning, and Romance By Connie Vines #BWL Insider Author Blog, #Roses, #June Birthdays

 My favorite flower is the Rose. 

While gardening in Southern California isn't as challenging as in other climates, all rose bushes have thorns. Unfortunately, I've discovered that the most fragrant rose bushes possess thorns that hook or attack your tender flesh like shark teeth.

One of the most recognizable flowers in the world, the rose is widely regarded as the best representation of love.

Fossil evidence indicates that the rose has existed for over 30 million years. Roses were used for medicinal purposes and as perfume.

The symbolic meaning of Roses.

The red rose signifies enduring passion and love.

The white rose signifies innocence.

The pink rose signifies gratitude, admiration, and appreciation.

The purple rose signifies love at first sight and enchantment.

The yellow rose expresses joy and friendship.

In alchemy, a rose with seven petals symbolizes order, acceptance, and inclusion.

For those of us (me) who love Homer and mythology, the rose is often associated with the goddess of love, Aphrodite.

Beyond this flower's symbolism, history, and beauty, roses make me happy!

Flowers trigger dopamine release, often called the "pleasure hormone."

Dopamine is associated with positive emotions like happiness, joy, and love. And it's not just their smell that makes us feel good -- it's the sight of flowers, too.

* Please post your favorite flower in the comments area. Why is it your favorite?

Happy Almost Summer, 

Connie
