Why Do Roses* Symbolize Love*?

I have been thinking about this since time now..

After all, why do roses Symbolize Love? We here it in movies, "give her flowers" Why? Why is it so speical to give roses/flowers to somebody?

A red rose shows love for somebody, the colour red itself is a way of showing love. But hey ain't red the colour of anger? So how can you be sure when somebody gives you a RED rose..it doesnt mean anger, and always has to mean love?πŸ˜†Why isit always the red rose which is focused on...

LOL! i ask too many questions na..i dunt no, they just bobble up in my head.😳

To answer ur first question:

Why Rose?

A Rose has thorns. But the thorns are below the Rose. The Rose represents life beautifully. It has very soft petals, that tell us about the soft side of living and thorns to convey that life is not all the bed of Roses without thorns.

What does a lover do? A true lover will always take the thorns and give only the soft flowers to his/her darling. That is love and love demands that one give only comfort to one's darling. Love demands sacrifice. Love demands giving of joy. Love demands that all pain be kept away from the beloved. That is also the message a lover sends across to his/her beloved with a Rose. I have kept the thorns with myself and I am sending you these soft flowers .

Now why Red?

I think that dark red must be the preferred color as it looks like red. And every true lover is ready to shed his/her blood for the beloved. Also love is associated with the heart, and heart pumps blood. So red signifies love. Colors have their own significance, looking at any white color, the first thought is of purity. Same way red means love.

Hope this answer's ur question..πŸ˜‰
