Have you ever wondered why Red Roses are sent on Valentine's Day?
The red rose carries the universal symbol of love and affection. This flower's long, eventful history shows its significance. The red rose has been incorporated into many works of art from classical poetry to paintings. Shakespeare used a red rose in Romeo and Juliet, and the poet Robert Burns created a poem on the beauty of the red rose.
The red rose as we know it today was brought to Europe from China in 1800's, though the language of flowers and the meanings people associate with them date back far longer than that. Early cultures across the globe used these red flowers for their traditional wedding attire and to decorate the wedding ceremony itself.
Because of these traditions, the red rose soon became known as the symbol for deep love and fidelity. As the practice of exchanging roses and other flowers as signs of affection grew more popular, the red rose became the flower of choice for lovers because it sends the strongest message of love.
Sending someone a bouquet of red roses is still the most popular way to say "I love you." Even a single, long-stemmed red rose can evoke a powerful response from its recipient. This is a trait no other flower can convey.
