The rose has always held a special place in our hearts, hence it is no surprise that it is one of the most popular subjects for tattoos. While each type of rose may signify different things to different people, however, over time each type of rose has been associated with certain traditional meanings, making the rose one of the most eloquent flowers.
White roses convey simplicity and charm; Pink roses whisper of clandestine love; Yellow roses, rather morosely, communicate the waning of love, or warn of jealousy, or to let bygones be bygones; Rosebuds portray innocence and youth; and Red roses, of course, are the eternal symbol of love and passion.
