Read on to learn what your favorite roses mean in the very special language of flowers. In Victorian times, suitors would present a bouquet to their intended that held much meaning once the flowers were looked at. The content of these tokens often changed as the relationship did until the bride walked down the aisle with the most meaningful bouquet. Red roses say I love you and also stand for respect and courage. You are young and beautiful.
Red rosebuds mean pure and lovely and white rosebuds signify girlhood or too young to love.
The moss rosebud stands for confessions of love. A single rose stands for simplicity. In full bloom, it means I love you or I love you still, and a bouquet of roses in full bloom signifies gratitude. You re heavenly, reverence and humility, innocence and purity, I m worthy of you, and secrecy and silence. Red and white roses together, or white roses with red edges, signify unity.
