    Hi Gemini This is just my interpretation, I guess its the meaning of the Red Rose "Romance and Love":)as described for weddings and bouquet,s by the Florists:)
    Personally I think its more to do with the (velvety) texture and feel of the rose petal,the red rose petals feel just like velvet,a sort of soft covering of fur,indeed Velvet is,nt a colour at all,but as you know velvet comes in many colours:)

    But why isn't this soft covering of fur on any other colours? why only the red ones? :scratch:
