The Rose, Birth Flower of June

The rose has come to represent June because of its abundance at this time of year. It symbolizes love and beauty. In the “Language of Flowers” each color of rose has a special meaning. This was very important back in the Victorian era when it was considered totally inappropriate to express feelings of love or affection. I found several websites that list the meanings of each color. I personally don't get into this hidden meaning thing. To me, a rose is a flower; flowers are pretty. Yellow is my favorite color. If you bring me yellow flowers, that means you paid attention and remembered that I like yellow; paid attention and remembered “is a good thing” (like Martha Stewart says).

The other main flower to represent June is the Honeysuckle; very fragrant, sweet smelling, much associated with summer, especially June. The Honeysuckle means devoted affection, bonds of love.
