Roses evoke romance, love and beauty. Revered for its velvety petals and heavenly scent, it is nice to have them in the home and garden, but did you ever wondered about rose or a flower meaning before you gift them to your beloved?

Roses and flowers have inspired people over the ages to develop a language by ascribing meanings to color.

Traditionally, the rose is considered the flower of love. Nothing beats red roses in saying “I Love You”.

When you consciously choose a certain color, variety or number of roses for someone, you bring a whole new depth to the gesture of gifting roses. The good thing about my new neighbourhood in Stockholm is that neighbours care to plant as many flowers as they can to put a smile on your face while walking around.

So don’t wait until your sweetheart appears with a bouquet of blooms to give your home some floral flair. The health benefits of adorning your abode with flowers are worth splurging on the blossoms for yourself.

Having some pretty flowers or roses around you can make you feel less negative. they can have a positive carryover impact on your mood.

Be positive, be happy and spread love around you.
