We all believe in red roses as the ultimate symbol of love and romance, but why?
According to the fossil record, we can trace the history of the rose back 35 million years.
The significance of the red rose dates back to Greek mythology and the belief that the red rose was created by Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. Legend has it that the flower grew from the ground watered with Aphrodite’s tears and the blood of her ill-fated lover Adonis.
The vibrant red color, velvety texture, and enchanting fragrance of red roses evoke powerful emotions and evoke the essence of love, desire, respect, admiration, courage, sacrifice, and commitment. Whether it's to express romantic love, convey deep admiration, or symbolize unwavering commitment, red roses continue to be cherished as a timeless symbol of profound emotions and a classic choice for expressing heartfelt sentiments.
In simple terms, the red rose means, ‘I love you'.
A dozen red roses means 'be mine'.
Therefore, a dozen red roses go well with the ceremony of engagement. May the presence of a dozen red roses always be a symbol in your journey together.
There you have it, the reason we link red roses to the any occasion filled with everlasting love and romance.
Be my rose; be my love, lots of love
