Have you ever wondered what do roses mean and the number of roses used can mean to your receiver? It is important to know such Floral Linguistics, especially if you’re looking to please your Mother-in-Law or to propose a marriage to your girlfriend.
General Meaning of Roses
Roses have been around for nearly 32 million years, and in ancient times, were used for celebrations, fragrances and in medicine. It was also considered legal tender by the Royalty who used Roses very frequently in the past. Today, Roses say “I love you” and is almost quintessential in one’s declaration of romantic feelings to the receiver.
Different Types of Roses
We generally see 3 different kinds of roses in Singapore – Spray, Modern and the David Austin Rose.
Spray Roses are generally smaller blooms with short individual stems shooting out from each stalk.
Modern Roses are commonly seen and known.
While David Austin Roses are created by genetically cross-breeding Modern Roses with Old Garden Roses. Hence, David Austin Roses hold characteristics of both – repeat flowering capability, wide variety of colours and are fragrant. However, they are expensive, susceptible to diseases and might not be as hardy as modern roses. They have a unique appearance, with numerous infolding petals that makes them look prosperous and well-bloomed.
