There are over 30 thousand varieties of roses available; 4000-plus songs have been composed with the word “Rose” in them; and Shakespeare mentions the word “Rose” at least 70 times in various plays and sonnets about love. Rose oil and other parts of the plant are used in aromatic perfumes and health foods and rose colors have very special meanings. Red roses are the classic symbol for love, white roses stand for a pure heart, and pink roses symbolize happiness. If you are choosing roses to give to your mother or the mother of your children, pick any color but yellow, as it designates infidelity (she may not know that, but not a good choice!). Dyed roses are interesting too in blues, greens and purples.
Roses are queen of the garden, and a strong favorite by most mothers everywhere. The special mother you are remembering will love to receive either a floral box of long stem roses, a bouquet of red ones in a glass vase or even a tea rose potted plant in an attractive planter. Tea roses have the special meaning “I will remember you always.”
