the red rose is a symbol of kindness, but also of passion and love;

the yellow rose is a symbol of friendship, innocence and purity;

the blue rose is linked to the meaning of dream, utopia and mystery;

the white rose is associated with beauty, fertility, inner serenity and humility.

It is the emblem of sacrifices made for love, strength and protection. A rose and snake tattoo can allude to lust and sensuality. In some cultures the snake is also a symbol of wisdom and knowledge, as well as fertility. The rose and clock tattoo stands for eternal love and life. Rosa and still symbolize love for the sea, but are also used to pay homage to the loss of a loved one, a symbol of love and fidelity. The rose and dagger tattooit is associated with the pain of lost love, but in general with the difficulties of life. While the rose and butterfly tattoo stands for birth and rebirth, as well as femininity and grace. The closed rose is synonymous with possibilities yet to be experienced and adventure, while the open one represents maturity and wisdom. The withered rose tattoo is linked to the concept of ephemeral, it represents beauty destined to vanish. It can mean lost love or it can represent a loved one who is no longer there and we want to remember forever.
