Ask people what is the traditional flower for Valentine's Day and most will tell you: "A red rose ', the gift of love. This is because the rose has been valued for its beauty and has a long symbolic history. The ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans associated with Isis, Aphrodite and Venus, the goddess of love. The rose often used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary.
The red rose is to mean both love and passion and has been used as such in the romantic prose and poetry. 'What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name will smell as sweet 'and' Oh, my love is like a red, red rose "are Two examples that spring to mind. Why red but also some studies have shown that red can give a physical effect on the viewer as increased respiration rates and increased blood pressure, which in turn makes the heart beat faster.
However, the rose comes in a variety of colors, many of which are associated with symbolic meanings
An orange rose is intended to demonstrate the desire and fascination, blue indicates uniqueness while a white rose symbolizes the purity and innocence. The yellow rose can be given for friendship or platonic love, but can also transmit jealousy.
The rose, however, is not the only flower that can be used to convey a feeling. Many other flowers can occur on Valentine's Day.
However, it is advisable to be careful with his choice to avoid conveying the wrong message. For example, a red tulip that the statement is love while a yellow that is said to indicate "love impossible. A black rose is best avoided entirely, that is, unless you want to convey hatred or are saying bye!
Hyacinths and crocuses can also be presented as Valentine's gifts, each with a different meaning depending on the message you want to convey the receiver.
Despite the wealth of flowers now commonly available, the red rose is by far the most popular choice for flower senders and recipients of Valentine's Day. This is mainly due to tradition and perception, and although, in reality, the type and color of the flower that is presented is a choice on certain personal likes and dislikes by the sender and recipient, it seems likely that the red rose will continue to dominate the market for this special day.
