Rose

The meaning of the rose

Rose (Red, Blush, Cream)

Love that does not need many words.

The rose is the flower of love. In Greek myth it already belonged to Aphrodite, and a red rose still says more than many words. But each colour tells a different story.

The colours

  • CreamCalm, respect and sincerity: a quiet, elegant choice.

When to give them

On Valentine's Day, on an anniversary, or when you want to tell someone you love them. In blush or cream, a rose also suits a thank-you.

Good to know

  • There are thousands of rose varieties, from small wild roses to large cut roses.
  • The number counts too, people often say: one rose means “you're the one”, twelve roses “will you be mine?”.
  • Roses belong to the same family as apples and strawberries.
