The Ultimate Guide to What Would Wayne Do...
Jack asks:”I want to send my girlfriend roses for Valentine Day, but I am not sure what the colors mean.”
Wayne Says:
As Valentine's Day
comes at the end of the winter season one can find a large number of spring
flowers in their full bloom. While every flower has
a wonderful story to tell, the rose stands alone in its abundant history and
color meaning. Traditionally a bouquet of dozen red roses is considered to be
ideal and most romantic Valentine's Day gift.
Used for hundreds of years to convey
messages without words, roses have long
been a symbol of confidentiality - the Latin expression sub rosa (literally
"under the rose") means something told in secret.
According to popular legends red rose is considered to be a
favorite flower of Venus - the Roman mythological Goddess of Love and Beauty.
Hence the red Rose came to be associated with love and romance.
Historians believe that the tradition of giving red rose on Valentine's Day became popular in the 1700s when Charles II of Sweden introduced the Persian custom of "the language of flowers" to Europe.
