Pink Roses in the Victorian Era
People in the Victorian era took the language of flowers very seriously. Due to the repressive atmosphere of the times, flowers became the means by which women communicated with their suitors. The distinct scent of a particular flower or the grouping of flowers in a bouquet conveyed unique messages.
Often, these botanical gifts demonstrated feelings and emotions nobody dared say out loud in public. Even the way flowers were given to someone had its own hidden message. For instance, if a man handed a woman an upright bouquet of flowers, he had something happy and positive to tell her. An upside-down bouquet, on the other hand, meant he was bringing her some dark news. Handing a man a flower with the right hand indicates that she is agreeable to his proposal, while presenting the flower with the left hand often means that she is declining his offer.
It was important for those in the Victorian age to know what each flower meant so that they would send the right message to their lovers or anyone else. Entire dictionaries were written and published to explain this mysterious language to everyone. However, it was fairly common for mixed message nightmares to occur when two people had conflicting version of the “language of flowers dictionary.”
One of the most popular flowers during this era was the pink rose. If you’ll look at figurines, paintings, jewelry, and other heirlooms and antiques from that time, you’ll notice that the pink rose is a predominant motif in Victorian art. The rose as a symbol of love was already common knowledge then, but they also knew that each type and color carried its own meaning.
Pink roses come in different shades, from a blushing pale pink to a dark crimson. The pale pink rose was the favorite of women during that time - they often used rosebuds to adorn their hair and dresses, and took care of their pink rose gardens like they would take care of children. The pink rose is said to mean a lot of things – romantic love, in particular – but the appeal of the pink rose today isn’t so much the message they are supposed to contain as the sheer beauty of their color and form.
If you want to send your beloved a bouquet of pink roses, go for the pale pink color of aqua roses. Besides their sweet and delicate shade, aqua roses also have a heady aroma that clings to their petals; creating an aura of mystery in the room they are kept. Chances are she won’t know about the meanings Victorian women placed on the pink rose, but she will love its pastel shade and the overall effort you placed in sending her flowers.

Red stands for love.

Roses - What Colour and How Many to Give
Roses have been used for centuries to express emotions - you just need to make sure that you choose the right colour and amount for the occasion.
Red roses are the most common colour to send.
A single red rose Says 'I Love You'
Bunch of long-stemmed roses signifies long-lasting love
A dozen red roses signifies 'the perfect dozen'. In many cultures and religions, the number 12 is associated with a complete cycle; twelve months of the year, twelve hours on the clock, twelve signs of the zodiac, etc. This recurrence of the number twelve across the natural and spiritual world has given it a sacred and mystical quality which is universal - hence why a dozen red roses is given as a symbol of true love.
Two dozen red roses symbolises your love for someone, and that you're thinking of them every hour of every day. Traditionally the romantic message of twenty four roses is that of complete devotion, or 'I am yours'.
Single white roses are given by someone that wants to say 'I'm sorry'
A single peach rose is used to send a message of friendship
A purple rose expresses beauty.
A pink rose is an elegant way of thanking someone
A single black rose says 'it is over' (the end of a relationship for example).
Single yellow roses express happiness and love - sending one to your other half means that you are happy with your love and relationship.
Whichever colour or amount of roses you choose to send, and whatever the occasion, they will always be appreciated. All varieties and types of roses are beautiful, whether sent as a single flower or a large bouquet.
