The red rose symbolizes many different meanings depending on its shade and the amount. In general it portrays beauty, passion, courage and respect. It says congratulations, I love you and shows a sincere love. It is viewed as a symbol of deep romantic love and desire . In Christianity, the red rose is a symbol of Jesus' blood and the suffering that he went through during His crucifixion. In Greek mythology, the red rose represents passionate desire. This is derived from the myth of Aphrodite spilling blood onto a white rose to try and help her wounded lover Adonis. Red roses are the most popular flowers for Valentines Day, which is why the cost of them are so much higher in February. Their bright red shade is the ultimate expression of romantic and everlasting love. Red roses also have a different kind of meaning within marriage. They express domestic paradise that is also passionate as well as abiding. A love that is forever growing in strength and away from monotony. In addition to beauty and passion, red roses also symbolize courage and power. They seek to congratulate a job well done, and to express respect and appreciation. The red rose celebrates the creative spirit of love. A single rose stands for simplicity. In full bloom, it means I love you or I love you still. (www.flowermeaning.info)
