There are many symbols of love. Hearts , chocolates , stuffed animals etc. But the best one is a Rose. Roses often symbolize love and beauty. Therefore, they represent ladies, also. From a Christian perspective, a rose is a symbol of heaven and harmony in the world.Also a rose bush was said to have grown at the site of Christ’s death. His blood serving is often associated with a red rose, combined with its thorns is thus symbolized the ultimate sacrifice.Furthermore, the rose is considered the flower of the Virgin Mary.The Rose's period of blooming is so short that the only magical belief about it was that if a girl picks a rose on Midsummer Eve, wraps it up, and finds it unfaded on Christmas Eve, her lover is true.Nowadays, roses are thought appropriate to all forms of love; they may be laid on a coffin, a rose bush planted as a memorial to the dead, etc. The color of the rose is often significant. Red is for romantic love. Like other plants, a Rose, especially one that is still alive, can also carry hints of growth, renewal. Roses have thorns which represent the pain or hurt hidden in the beauty, as in "love hurts". Roses have long been a symbol of confidentiality - the Latin expression sub rosa (literally "under the rose") means something told in secret.So the Rose would usually be used by a secret admirer.
In conclusion , there are many statements from people that I have talked to and what I have researched about roses and , what it symbolizes. Red is the main color of love , weather its a heart or a Rose. The thorns are symbolism of sacrifice and problems that you have gone though with that person. Even though their unconditional love comes together again. So In my eyes a rose is the perfect symbol of love.
Very informative. I learned quite a bit reading this post. :)
