White roses have been revered since civilization’s earliest days. They were associated with the goddess Aphrodite in ancient Greece. They also figured largely in British history as well. It was the White Rose that was the heraldic symbol of the Duke of York, going back to the Plantagenet dynasty. The ivory blossom also was the symbol of Yorkist forces, as they fought their opponents, the House of Lancaster in the famed War Of The Roses in 1455. During the Glorious Revolution of 1688 it was the emblem of the Jacobites, the movement that supported the return of the Stuart kings to England’s throne.

We have another British event, this time much more happier and romantic, to thank for its’ current day popularity. Queen Victoria started the time honored tradition of wearing all white and carrying all white roses amongst other flowers to her 1840 marriage to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Her gown and flowers were an instant hit , copied by following royal brides and common women alike. Victoria’s love of white roses also sparked a second trend. Posies of them were sent to young women by eager suitors throughout middle class Britain and America. It’s not uncommon nowadays to receive a bouquet of white roses from a husband or long time boyfriend. Saddle Brook florists can arrange some interesting combinations that can include other flowers and even a hidden engagement ring.

White roses are also part of many cities’ emblems. Not surprisingly it’s on the city of York, England’s town crest along with being prominent in York, Pennsylvania’s emblem.

Southampton, England boasts of having one in its coat of arms as well as the town of Pickering, located in England’s north. White roses on their own have particular meaning in the language of flowers. The color white symbolizes new beginnings so a bouquet of white roses would be appreciated at any housewarming. A baptismal font can be decorated with them since they also mean innocence and purity, much like a baby. They could even be sent for someone starting a new job or new chapter in life. White roses are often seen at funerals and memorial services as they also stand for spirituality and heaven.

White roses are so rich in meaning as they are in elegance. These snowy blooms add to any place or event. Their stark beauty will always continue to hypnotize and awe us.
