Daphne Du MaurierThere was something rather blousy about roses in full bloom, something shallow and raucous, like women with untidy hair
About This Quote
Throughout history, the rose has been associated with beauty, romance, and passion. A popular symbol of love and beauty dating back to ancient Egypt, roses are now represented around the world in almost every religious celebration. One of the most famous stories about the rose is that of Adonis. According to Greek mythology, Adonis was a beautiful man who was killed by his lover’s jealous husband.
His lover, Venus (Greek goddess of love), cried bitter tears for his death. To console her, she made her tears into red roses that would bloom again every year on his birthday. Adonis became an emblem of eternal youth and beautiful death.
Roses also represent innocence and purity, making them a popular flower for brides who want to symbolize love and commitment.
