A bouquet of flowers, especially roses, at first glance, is a very trivial gift for a girl. However, take a closer look at him, because he can tell a lot about the thoughts and desires of the man who gave you such a present.
The language of flowers
Sometimes it's so hard to talk about feelings out loud. Even the strongest and bravest men, falling in love, can tremble, blush and stutter, finding themselves face to face with the object of their feelings. And a couple of centuries ago, talking about love was considered completely indecent. The language of flowers was born in the East, where women had no rights and, in order to satisfy their need for communication, they invented a way to symbolically talk about their attitude and mood. After knowledge of the flower language was retold in books, it quickly became popular in Europe, especially in England and France. Later brochures on the meanings of various colors appeared in Russia.
The values of plants were formed on the basis of myths and legends. This knowledge was also mixed with the interpretations of the shades that exist among this or that people. Based on the composition of the bouquet, the number of plants in it, the presence of greenery and the way it is presented, a secret message was guessed.
The language of flowers has not been forgotten in the 21st century either. Hobbyists infer new meanings by combining ancient interpretations with the esoteric meanings of plants.
What does the white rose talk about?
White is associated with innocence and purity of thoughts. This meaning has been preserved for white roses as well. A young man who gives such a gift to his lady of the heart, thereby emphasizes her outstanding qualities. In such a simple way, he expresses his admiration and readiness to take care of her, because he perceives his beloved girl as a kind of fragile unearthly creature.
The man who gives white roses is most likely conservative. He is not interested in a short-term romance. He is tuned in to a long-term relationship, secured by all the rules. A bouquet of snow-white roses hints at sincere and tender feelings, but does not imply passion and physical intimacy, since at this stage of the relationship it may still be inappropriate.
According to legend, the Archangel Gabriel, to comfort the Mother of God, weaved a wreath of white roses for her. Once these flowers meant joy, but since then the meaning has changed.
A bouquet of white roses can be a completely innocent gift for a friend, relative or colleague, which does not mean falling in love. Only one thing is invariable - the girl who is presented with such a gift seems clean, pretty and defenseless and evokes in the man an involuntary admiration and a desire to protect her, which does not mean a desire to translate friendship into love.
