Description
This lovely white rose in the autumn morning light deserved to shown off in all it's glory of light and love.
Rose: � (love � remembrance � beauty)
The rose is always associated with love and romance. Roses were introduced to Europe during the Roman Empire and predominantly used for decoration.� Roses were first cultivated 5,000 years ago in Asian gardens, and Confucius declared that the emperor of China owned more than 600 books on the cultivation of roses. It is thought that the name Rose is a short form of a Germanic name which contained the word Roses are emblems of England and New York City. It is thought the name rose has Germanic origins.
White Rose: - (marriage, new beginnings, remembrance, reverence, innocence, purity, pure love, formal ceremony, unions, ceremonial occasions, anniversaries, christenings, graduations)
White roses are traditionally associated with marriages and new beginnings, but their quiet beauty has also made them a gesture of remembrance. When the occasion calls for reverence, whether stately or somber, a bouquet of white rose is a perfect way to say, �I�m thinking of you.� Historically, the white rose symbolized innocence and purity, which is how it became associated with weddings and bridal bouquets. Way back in 14th-century England the white rose was the heraldic sign of the Duke of York who faced off with the red-rose Lancaster family, giving the renowned War of Roses its name. Today, the white rose has retained its associations with both pure love and formal ceremony, making it a many-purposed recognition of unions and ceremonial occasions, such as anniversaries, christenings and graduations.
