Silver Rose Gifts & Rose History
The very last point you were in the marketplace to purchase flowers, you most likely weren't aware that you could purchase something more everlasting, flowers that last forever. Roses are profoundly popular, and anyone would be exhilarated about having to have these beautiful flowers as long as possible. Unless you happen to be a shopping expert of special or unique gifts, you may not be aware that flowers can be purchased in a variety of metals including gold & silver.
When it comes to buying a gold or silver rose, you can be a bit confused about which path to take. Silver is a popular choice simply because it's cheaper than gold. A silver rose is just as wonderful a gift than that of a gold one, but it'll not break the bank & will probably give you the possibility to buy more than one at a time. A rose made of gold could cost twice as much as a silver rose, so it pays to look at differences in price when making a decision.
Roses mean many things, especially when it comes to their varied colours. The most common of these among the 30,000 varieties of roses, is red rose that represents love & romance. Red roses have always been known as a way to say I love you. With a silver rose, the same sentiments apply and it doesn't need to have a specific colour to express deep & meaningful emotions.
Silver roses are created with a real rose & comes in both the short or long stems. While the stems are adorned with silver leaves, the thorns aren't to worry about, because they are removed and not there like the are in a real rose.
Roses comes from a enormously long & appealing history. In Greek mythology, the rose is a part of unique stories. It's believed that the goddess of love, Aphrodite, produced the rose, shed from both her tears & the blood of Adonis, her lover. The Romans also adopted the rose after turning Aphrodite into their Goddess Venus, which meant love & beauty to them. Roses was then offered as bribes to Cupid, the God of Silence in order to try to cover up Venus' many love affairs. Afterwards, the rose became a symbol of secrecy & were used to adorn the ceilings of Roman dining rooms as a reminder for guests to keep secret everything that was discussed over dinner. Today, sub rosa (or rose) means confidentiality.
Fortunately, roses today don't hold the stigma of secrecy as they once did. Every rose, including silver, is a treasured keepsake & is intended to show the whole world the beauty of the rose forever.
