Did you know that fossil evidence found in Egyptian tombs suggests that roses have been around for about 35 million years? Cultivating roses was a practice that only began five thousand years ago in China, though it didn?t take long for the genus Rosa to spread to the West and develop new uses besides aesthetic ones.? Ancient Romans were rather obsessed with roses ? they used the red flower petals as confetti during parades and celebrations, as a source of perfume, and as ingredients for medicine. In fact, the red rose became so useful to the ancient Romans that they found ways to make these flowers bloom beyond their natural peripheries.? So that their experiments would not go to waste, Roman nobles established sprawling public flower gardens at the south of the city for everyone to appreciate and enjoy. Perhaps the beauty of Roman flowers was so captivating because around this time, people began the practice of exchanging red roses to communicate romantic love.? If you think all red roses are the same, think again. Today, there are about 150 species of red roses, most of them developed by flower breeders, and every single species has its own unique origin, shape, and shade of red. Just like flower gardening and cultivation techniques, the meaning of red roses was something that developed in time. Be careful when choosing flowers to send out because each aspect, like the shade of red or the state of its bloom, conveys different messages.?? The Grand Gala variety was quite popular in the late 90?s. However, the proliferation of more productive varieties has forced many European and American farms to stop producing this flower. In some countries in Asia with relatively cheaper land prices, the Grand Gala Rose continues to be popular. In the Philippines for example, the Grand Gala outsells any other flower variety in the market. Island Rose, the largest florist in the Philippines, delivers more of this variety than any other flower in their inventory.Red roses in full bloom symbolize a strong, mature love that has withstood the test of time and the trappings of love. For anniversaries or Valentine?s Day, send your mate a dozen Grand Gala roses. The Grand Gala rose is hybrid tea rose created in France in 1994, and its size makes this rose perfect for the task of communicating love in full blossom. This flower is one of the largest roses commercially available – the diameter of a blooming Grand Gala measures no less than five inches!? Besides the size of its blooms, there are other reasons to send your love a Grand Gala rose bouquet. The deeper the red tone, the more the man is supposed to love a woman. The Grand Gala?s bright, clear red color and its abundant cluster of petals makes most other red roses look pale and small in comparison.?? If you lean closer to inhale its scent, you?ll discover that the Grand Gala has a strong, pleasing fresh fragrance that any woman will love. Florists also love this variety because of its long thorn less stem. This makes the flower easy to handle when making complicated flower arrangements. Whether it?s for a special occasion or no real occasion at all, no other flower can communicate an intense, enduring love the way Grand Gala roses can.

The Victorian Language of Flowers

Did you know you can convey your sentiments to someone without ever saying a word? That is of course if they happen to speak the Language of Flowers. Everyone loves beautiful flowers and it appears since ancient times that they had special symbolism. In the book Song of Solomon in the Bible you will find the loved one calling herself a Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. Authors and poets often use flowers in their writings. The language of flowers became especially significant in the romantic Victorian era.

As I became interested in collecting and now selling vintage ladies handkerchiefs I found that you can tell a story or express a message to someone by giving them handkerchiefs with certain flowers embroidered or printed on them. Hankies are great gifts to send to far away friends in birthday, get well, or friendship cards. Hopefully this list will help you out in determining the meaning of certain flowers you will find on your ladies handkerchiefs. Enjoy!

Sweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing

Thomas Hood poem, The Language of Flowers

Flowers and bouquets of flowers have a meaning of their own. Most of us know that a dozen red roses means, ?Be mine.? But did you know, for example, that a primrose means, ?I can?t live without you,? or that a purple hyacinth means, ?Please forgive me,? or that a pink carnation means, ?I?ll never forget you,? or that a gladiolus means, ?Give me a break??

Flower meanings have been used to convey ideas, feelings and messages for centuries. The word, floriography, has been coined for the assignment of meaning to flowers. There is a meaning to colors of flowers, to numbers of flowers, and to groups of flowers. It is a silent language that has been largely lost to us through lack of use.

In addition to the obvious choices of color and variety, the language of flowers also includes the way flowers are worn or presented. Presenting flowers upright conveys a positive meaning, but if they are presented upside down the meaning is the opposite. If a ribbon is included with the flowers and is tied to the left then the meaning of the flowers refers to the giver, but if the ribbon is tied to the right then the meaning refers to the recipient. Also, flowers can be used to answer questions. When they are presented with the right hand the answer is ?yes,? but when presented with the left hand the answer is ?no.?History

The Turks in the 17th century seemed to develop flower meanings. In 1718 the wife of the British ambassador to Constantinople, Lady Mary Wortley, wrote a letter expounding on the ?Secret Language of Flowers? that she had discovered during her visits to Turkey. Europe quickly picked up on the concept.

In 1819 Louise Cortambert, under the pen name, Madame Charlotte de la Tour, wrote and published what seems to have been the first dictionary of the flower language entitled, Le Language des Fleurs. It was a small book, but it became a popular reference on the subject.

During the Victorian era, the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, the meaning and language of flowers became increasingly popular. Victorian women especially picked up the silent language that allowed them to communicate feelings and meanings that the strict propriety of the times would not allow. Tussie-mussies, a bouquet of flowers wrapped with a lace doily and tied with a satin ribbon became a popular and valued gift of the times.

In 1884 a whole book on the subject and entitled, The Language of Flowers, by Jean Marsh and illustrated by Kate Greenaway, was published in London. It became popular and respected and has been the standard source for Victorian flower meaning ever since.Selected Flower Meanings

There are many different rose you can choose to grow in your garden. With so many different type to choose from, it might be difficult to pick the right one for you.

To make this task a bit easier, I’ve added some crucial factors that you should consider, and some of the different types of roses to aid in your search.

- Color may seem like a trivial matter, but it is usually a factor to those that want to grow roses. Usually it is simply a matter of personal preference.

- The final growth height of a rose should be considered as it would be unattractive to grow roses that are higher than the area of the garden that it grows in. Some roses can grow to be as high as 20 feet.

- If you live in an area that is prone to cold winters, you would certainly want a rose that could survive during the off season.

- If certain fragrances invoke an allergic reaction, you would want to plant roses that have a softer fragrance than the others.

- You would certainly want to learn what the advantages and disadvantages would be if you were to choose certain roses over others.

- You will want to consider the size of your garden space, so that you can ensure proper exposure to the air and other elements as well. – If you are hoping to make your roses into bouquets, you will want to know if they can be cut. Hybrid teas can. Petals may fall apart for some rose when they are cut.

- You should also consider what other types of flowers or plants you intend on adding to the rose’s environment. You want to add plants and flowers that will not create a damaging environment to your rose’s ecosystem.

After you get a sense of the type of roses that you would like to plant, you will naturally want to know which type of rose’s best fit your ideas for planting.

There are too many to list here, but I can list some of them for you. You should consult your nearest garden center for advice on whether your choice is fitting to your garden’s abilities.

Landscape roses For novice gardener, land scape roses are good choice. They require little of few maintenance if they are disease resistant. Hybrid teas are not good for the novice.

Climbing Roses These roses grow vertically up as they are trained to do so. This is the basic different compare to regular roses. Most people like to use these for trellises, or buildings. Some of them are hybrid teas, wichuraine, and large flowered climbers. They are a beautiful addition to the look of one’s house.

Shrub Roses Shrub roses like the beautiful rugosa are both long blooming, and disease resistant. These are also great for the novice planter. They are gorgeous even when they are not in bloom because the foliage is so pretty.

Old Garden Roses These roses are not very good for those with severe allergies to strong fragrances because they have a strong fragrant odor. They can bloom for a prolong period if they are disease resistant.

The Modern Rose These are very special roses because they are the result of cross breeding the hybrid tea with the polyanthus. Floribunda is what they are being referred to. They are a beautiful combination of the best those two flowers have to offer. They are long blooming, fragrant, and they are great for cutting.

Miniature Roses

Miniature roses are exactly what they sound like. Even with a smaller blooms, they posses all the fragrance and beauty of any other roses. For planting indoor, these roses are great.

Roses speak to women’s Hearts When asked, many ladies say their favorite flower is the rose Silver Spring, Maryland, a community in the suburban area of Washington, D.C. Is home to many women who agree. They are saying a rose is the most symbolic flower in the world. The giving of roses carries special meaning, and the choice of the perfect rose or rose bouquet is important. A single rose is the perfect gift for a first date, an anniversary, or simply to say,’I still love you’ for no occasion at all . Red roses are, of course, the final symbol of love. But roses are not just red-they also come in attractive hues of pink, white, yellow, orange, and lilac or purple. White roses represent innocence and pureness. Many girls select white roses for their wedding and later a husband who remembers this and sends his better half a white rose will go a long way toward keeping her heart with a beautiful note sharing his romantic reminiscing about their special day. It is a pretty way to celebrate an anniversary. On a more serious or somber note, white roses are also really applicable for the funeral of a young kid, again symbolizing purity, youth, and innocence. Pink roses are favored for many reasons. They are infinitely female and girly, elegant and refined, the perfect picture of grace. A spray of 16 pink roses would make a stunning statement to a beloved girl on her Sweet Sixteenth birthday. Likewise, they are often included in many wedding bouquets or bouquets sent for any reason. Alone or mixed with other flowers in pastel shades, they make a striking arrangement any lady would like. Another favourite rose silver spring maryland color is yellow. A yellow rose indicates warmth, fellowship, caring, and concern. Sending a single yellow rose or a bouquet containing yellow roses is an attractive expression of simplicity-perfect for a gift to a squeeze on her birthday, to celebrate a new home or a new job, or to just brighten her day. Though more tough to find, rose silver spring Maryland also come in orange and lilac or purple. Orange roses symbolize passion, energy, excitement, and desire. Any man who sends a woman a bunch of orange roses is unquestionably going to get noticed! Lilac or purple roses, on the other hand, symbolize sorcery and mysticism, enchantment and chances, infatuation and intrigue. They seem to be a lovely flower from a secret admirer or the perfect component in a flower posy to assert,’Will you go out with me?’, or on Valentine’s Day,’Will you be mine?’ Flowers are quite potentially one of the easiest ways to speak the language of love without words. If you’re not well versed in this language, a visit to a florist may be in order. Whatever what you need to assert, chances are they will help you say it with a rose silver spring, Maryland has florists that will help you demonstrate your feelings to the women of their community-or they will help you send a tiny love long distance with an arrangement to be delivered anywhere in the country if the woman in your life isn’t local. Regardless of what the occasion, they’ll help you celebrate with style..

Sometimes when you are given a bunch of flowers you wonder what they mean. Of course, sometimes they are just given to you because they are beautiful and you are loved. However, other times, there is a conscious or unconscious reason for the type of flower being given. These reasons are due to the fact that flowers have been used as symbols for many centuries.

It is not unusual to see different flowers listed as part of the worship of many ancient deities such as Apollo, Cerridwen, Aphrodite and Brigid. Flowers used in several Renaissance paintings are thought to be a symbol of various virtues. Adding emotional meaning really took precedence in the Victorian era. There was a book written in 1819 about the meanings of flowers called “Le Language des Fleurs” by Madame Charlotte de la Tour. One that was written in 1884 is still used today: “Language of Flowers” by Kate Greenaway.

Flower names were given to girls, such as Heather, Daisy and Rose. During Victorian times, the actual flower did not have to be given. A pressed version, a card with the chosen flower printed upon it, or even a handkerchief dotted with the scent of the chosen flower would suffice. Some of the meanings follow in this article. See if they correspond with any of your own experiences when you have received flowers.
