When it comes to romance, roses have been an enduring sign of love since the times of Ancient Greece and Rome. Roses are typically associated with Aphrodite – the Greek goddess of love. The rose then took on meanings of desire, sensuality, beauty, and passion.
In Victorian times, when public love confessions were considered scandalous, pink roses were sent as a message to someone you admire. Pink roses in specific are a versatile symbol of gratitude, joy, and admiration, although their meanings can differ by the shade.
Light pink roses represent grace, innocence, and femininity. These are the perfect gift for anyone expecting a baby girl or female family members. They can also be used as a symbol of sympathy, giving to someone who has recently experienced a loss.
Hot pink roses represent happiness and passion. They send a more intense message than their lighter pink counterpart. These are the perfect gift for someone who is celebrating a special event, such as a wedding or birthday.
Dark pink roses represent honor, elegance, and gratitude. These are the perfect gift for someone who has done you a favor or for anyone you want to show appreciation to.
Pink roses have also taken on a spiritual meaning. In Jewish texts, Jewish people are compared to a rose: “Like the rose maintaining its beauty among the thorns, so is My faithful beloved among the nations,” (Song of Songs 2:2). The rose is further mentioned multiple times, enshrining it as a beautiful symbol within Judaism. Also, for a long time roses were the only flowers allowed to be cultivated in Jerusalem.
