Rose

Roses are among the most meaningful and versatile flowers used in funeral floristry. Their rich symbolism and wide range of colours make them suitable for almost any type of funeral tribute. In Cheltenham and Gloucestershire, roses are a cherished choice for expressing love, respect, and fond remembrance of the deceased.

The colour of a rose carries specific meaning in the context of funerals. Red roses symbolise deep love and grief, making them a powerful choice for a spouse or partner. White roses represent reverence, humility, and innocence — ideal for a tribute that conveys peaceful rest. Pink roses express grace, gratitude, and admiration, while yellow roses symbolise friendship, warmth, and the joy the deceased brought to others' lives.

Roses are used extensively in all types of funeral arrangements. A casket spray of long-stemmed red roses creates a dramatic declaration of love. A hand-tied sheaf of white roses offers understated elegance. Mixed rose arrangements, combining several colours, can tell a story of the many dimensions of a relationship. Single roses can also be given to mourners at the graveside.
