White Rose Flower Arrangement in a Box

White roses represent purity, innocence, youthfulness, young love, and eternal loyalty. They’re also ideal for new beginnings, and they are often seen in romantic settings like weddings, though they can be given for other occasions.

Brides, moms, grandmas, graduates, grievers, and those recovering from illnesses can all be given white roses, too, as their meaning is one of purity.

While weddings are the most common place you’ll see white roses, other occasions are perfect for giving white roses. White roses are welcoming flowers for birthdays, graduations, hospital visits for good wishes, Mother’s Day, and even funerals.

White roses do not symbolize death; instead, they have a spiritual meaning that looks upon the change for those who must go on without a treasured loved one. These are given at funerals to bring peace.

Giving someone a single white rose signifies you’re falling in love with them. But it also conveys that you’re a bit hesitant since you’re not sure they return those feelings, a pure and innocent gesture that romantically asks a question without saying a word.

An entire bouquet of 12 white roses means the giver is wholly committed to the recipient. It means unity and eternity and stands a good chance they will ask for your hand in marriage should you receive 12 white roses.
