Over the age, Roses have inspired people to develop a language of roses by ascribing meanings to their colour, variety or number of roses given to someone. For example, traditionally, nothing beats saying “I Love You” more than with a single, red rose (I hope my husband is reading this!). The heart-shaped petals represent love and trust, and the thorns indicate that love is not all roses! Did you know that every colour has its own meaning?
