There are thousands of species that fall under the genus Rosa, and roses are probably the most symbolic blooms in the language of flowers. Roses have different meanings depending on their colors, how fully bloomed they are and whether or not the leaves are left on the stems. To signify grace, send pink roses.
The name of this flower says it all. It grows in clusters of delicate, blue blooms, and it's the emblem of the Masonic fraternity, intended as a vow not to forget and refuse assistance to the poor. If this sounds less than romantic, take heart. This flower also symbolizes true love, hope, remembrance, and memories.
