Roses for June

Screen Shot 2015-05-18 at 2.59.41 PMJust as every month has a birthstone, each month also has a birth flower; and June has the privilege of representing perhaps one of the most prolific and treasured flowers of all time, the rose. The rose has a rich history that can be traced to traditions as varied as Greek and Roman goddesses, the blood of the martyrs, ancient secret societies and the sacrifice of Jesus. Regardless of the story behind them, it is clear that roses have held an iconic place in history from ages past, due to their timeless beauty.

Roses are available in a wide variety of colors, and each serves to deliver its very own message to the recipient. Perhaps the best known representation is that of red roses being symbolic of true love; they remain the most recognizable expression of love throughout the year. But there are a host of other sentiments that can be expressed through roses. For instance, dark pink roses represent gratitude and appreciation, and are perfect to thank someone. Yellow roses are most appropriately sent to close friends in your life, as they express happiness and amity. Purple roses represent new excitement and a sense of enthrallment, and so are perfect for promising first impressions; as are orange roses, which can convey a sense of excitement for a budding relationship.

Perhaps lesser known is the fact that there are also symbolic meanings behind the number of roses given. While a single rose may mean love at first sight, twelve roses attempts to seal the deal by asking “Will you be mine?” 365 roses, one for each day of the year, is said to carry the message that you cannot get them off your mind, and 999 roses emphasizes that your love is eternal and never ending.
