The language of flowers or meaning of flowers is referred to as floriography. This was a Victorian-era means of communication where various flowers and bouquets allowed individuals to express feelings which could not be spoken.

The nuances of floriography are now mostly forgotten. But today red roses still imply passionate romantic love; pink roses -admiration, a lesser affection; white roses suggest innocence and purity; and yellow roses stand for friendship or devotion.
