Decorating with Roses

~the Romance of the Rose it is,

and it enfolds within its compass

all the Art of Love~

Guillaume de Lorris

The rose in its various forms and colors

draws one’s heart and its fragrance

transports one to states of delight and bliss.

The color of the rose signified many

things. In the medeivel times –

the language of the rose spoke

red – love and respect

black roses indicated death and farewell

orange or coral roses declared desire

purple or lavender roses spoke of elegance and grace

peach or pale roses express friendship

and

a pink rose given would show gratitude or appreciation.

In decorating, I think the rose expresses the

gentleness of one’s heart.

 A bed decked with rose

covered pillows and blanket

roses in artwork add radiance to a room

pastel colored rose covered

pillows offer beauty and rest.

 

rose painted furniture adds

romance to a room

It is considered very feminine, but I think it

also conveys a mood of delight and perhaps

intimacy.

ggg

Roses can be used en mass or in deliberate touches

in a room and throughout the house.

Whether in fabric, wallpaper, silk, dried

or live – roses add an air to a room

that speaks to one and all.

~love lies hidden in every rose~
