Description
This photograph of white roses was taken while visiting a little outdoor florist stand in Seattle, Washington. I liked how the light was hitting the roses creating beautiful shadows on the roses and accenting certain parts of the roses. The pink you see on the roses was reflections of other colored roses on the white rose plus the lighting in the stand..
the white rose is a fitting way to honor a friend or loved one in recognition of a new beginning or a farewell. Their pure color conveys respect, pays homage to new starts and expresses hope for the future.
I hope you have enjoyed this work and will share it with others. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
Historically, the white rose symbolized innocence and purity, which is how it became associated with weddings and bridal bouquets. Way back in 14th-century England the white rose was the heraldic sign of the Duke of York who faced off with the red-rose Lancaster family, giving the renowned War of Roses its name. Today, the white rose has retained its associations with both pure love and formal ceremony, making it a many-purposed recognition of unions and ceremonial occasions, such as anniversaries, christenings and graduations.
