ROSES ARE BLUE...

According to the ancient Greeks, the first rose is said to be created by Chloris, the Goddess of flowers. Then the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, gave rose its red color as she bled on the blooms after being poked by a thorn, and Dionysus, the God of Wine, gave the intoxicating fragrance to the flower. Due to this, the rose symbolizes beauty, love, intoxication, and death. The thorns of the flower add a hint of sorrow and danger to the flower. Hence, it is seen as a perfect symbol for human condition.

The meaning of the blue rose is fascination, fantasy, unattainable, impossibility. This can be due to the fact that blue roses do not exist in nature at all. The so-called blue roses are actually either lavender roses or white roses which are then dyed with blue color. For long time only a few people knew about this so the blue rose also represents a secret. To some it represents a hope for a miracle and that new possibilities are yet to come. A rose is a representation of both inner and outer beauty. Thorns means not to place a lot of emphasis on outer beauty and that we only need to be concerned about inner beauty. Also, the thorns can mean, you can look, but cannot touch beauty.

Everlasting love is the other meaning attached to the royal rose. Roses among thorns can also be a reminder that love comes in a package, as you will have to make certain sacrifices for your love. This caution is often used when the person is falling in love. It can also mean that love does not come without risks and the ecstasy attached to love will only come by enduring certain amount of pain and agony.
