Message of the White Rose
A white rose displayed on it's own is traditionally
symbolic of purity and secrecy. In medieval times it was
usual for a single white rose to be suspended from the ceiling,
when the conversation held beneath it would be conducted
in complete privacy. All the other people in the residence
would keep their distance, hence the expression "sub
rosa"
Tip
The groom should have a buttonhole that incorpoates one of
the flowers used in his bride's bouquet This is based on the
right of the knight on going to either fight or to meet a
challenge, would wear his lady's colours. See more about our
traditions and superstitions.
