· Units of barter or exchange and payments
· Decorative pieces for palaces and rooms
· Oils for bathing
· Key cooking ingredients
Roses Are Historically Symbolic
Most of the present-day popularity of roses are derived from the connotations used for roses in literature, Greek mythologies, and even religion. The Greek legends narrate how the white rose first sprang during the birth of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Purity. The association of rose with love is also a concept passed on from myths that relate how the name of Eros, the God of Love, can be rearranged to form the word ‘rose’. In early Christian times, rose was often associated with the Virgin Mary’s virtue. Many traces of the importance of roses can also be found in classical literature and poetry in which the concept of ‘red rose’ symbolizing passion became even more prevalent.
Roses Convey Emotions
If you thought roses are only for the lover, then you are wrong. Each color of the rose conveys a different emotion. Some of the widely known colors and their associated meanings are:
· Red roses convey deep emotions of love and desire
· White roses are indicative of purity, spirituality, sympathy, and innocence
· Yellow roses evoke feelings of happiness and warmth
· Pink roses express admiration and gratitude
· Orange roses signify pride, passion, and desire
