Description
A single white rose is interpreted to mean both purity as well as peace. White being the color of innocence and impeccability, the white rosebud seeks to convey innocent girlhood.
The White Rose in addition to its beauty has historical significance. The white rose figures in heraldry as an expression of love and faith.
The earliest meaning for the white rose was one of true love but this association is now more prevalent for the red rose.
The white rose is also called the bridal rose and as such represent unity, and new bonds of love. The white rose at a wedding carries the message of new beginnings and purity.
As the white rose can also indicate honor and reverence and often a feeling of spirituality the white rose is often seen in sympathy arrangements at funerals. It is used to symbolize remembrance, love, and respect for the departed person. In this case, the message of farewell is conveyed by the white rose.
Today some of the more common meanings for the white rose are purity and youthful innocence. This meaning is more historical as a white rosebud was a symbol for a young girl considered too young for love. The white rose can symbolize friendship, hope, love and even respect. But the note that underscores it all is innocence and purity.
