Red roses

Hai steemian friend

Every time that is related to love, it is always associated with roses. Whether it's a red rose, a white rose, a yellow rose, an orange rose and much more. Roses have long been a symbol of love. In fact, if you can not afford to say love gebetan, a rose can replace you to express love. But, who was so curious, how the story of a rose could be a symbol of love?

Apparently the story is really long and lots of versions. Some love Greek mythology about Chloris Si Dewi Bunga, Aphrodite The Goddess of Love, and Dionysus the God of Wine. According to this story, Chloris creates roses to give life to someone who has no life. The rose is given as a sign of love and attention from the goddess. From this story then the rose is a symbol to express affection.

Another Greek version, another story from ancient Italy aka the era of the Roman Empire. In the past there were boys from ordinary folk dating the royal aristocrats. Due to the status of the ordinary rajyat boy, the girl's parents do not agree. To convince the girl's father, this guy joined the royal army to join the war. On the battlefield, this guy was seriously injured and fell in the middle of a garden full of white roses. He metik a rose and ask his friend to love this flower for his girlfriend in the palace. After the love of flowers, he died.
