There are thousands of species that fall under the genus Rosa, and roses are probably the most symbolic blooms in the language of flowers. Roses have different meanings depending on their colors, how fully bloomed they are and whether or not the leaves are left on the stems. To signify grace, send pink roses.
White roses are sometimes called the âflower of lightâ and are the brideâs flower. They symbolize unity, sincerity, loyalty, purity, and a love stronger than death. White flowers can be mixed with red to emphasize the meaning of love, while white buds are an appropriate gift to a young girl from her father.
