Pink roses are a classic—they were the first colour rose cultivated, since pink roses are most common in the wild. The Victorians depicted it everywhere from wallpaper to upholstery to greeting cards.
The pink rose has always been associated with feelings of love and gratitude and while darker pink roses are symbols of gratitude and appreciation, lighter pinks are associated with gentleness and admiration.
Keep love in your heart.
“Some people grumble that roses have
thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses.”
― Alphonse Karr, A Tour Round My Garden
Roses
You love the roses - so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses, as they rain
From off the shaken bush. Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white
And soft to tread on. They would fall as light
As feathers, smelling sweet: and it would be
Like sleeping and yet waking, all at once.
George Eliot
