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.
The rose is also considered a symbol of balance in tarot. The belief is that this flower expresses new beginnings and hope, which is in contrast to the thorns that represent loss and defense. This is an excellent rose tattoo meaning since just about everyone wants some type of balance in their lives.
