Meanings of rose colors: In Victorian times flowers had assigned meanings, but even then there was much discrepancy. Today there are so many flowers and colors that this tradition no longer applies. Red roses are traditionally associated with romantic love, but this is not a universal rule by any means.
The oldest roses:Colorado fossils of the rose which were alive 40 million years ago are the oldest evidence of roses. Medicinal uses of the rose: Long ago rose petals were used to control bleeding because they contain an astringent called tannin.
