Roses Victorian flower floral rose bouquet Ceramic Ornament

Victorian Flowers in Antique Vase Flowers are timeless gifts, and roses are especially wonderful. Roses mean love, just like they did in Victorian days. This is an antique image of a bouquet of flowers - roses, to be sure. Red roses, pink roses, and white roses are shown on this beautiful floral image from the late 1800s. The red, pink and white flowers have vivid coloration. The colourful flowers are sitting on a base of green leaves and a vase of blue and white. About the Victorian Bouquet Image The rose image comes from an antique calling card. In Victorian times, people would have their own illustrated calling cards, kind of like today's business cards. When they would go out visiting for the day, they would go "calling" on friends. If the friend wasn't at home, they would leave a beautiful calling card with their name hand written on the back. The detailed illustrations on the calling cards were often floral designs with favourite flowers, especially roses, and very colourful flowers at that. This bouquet image with roses is one of those cards.
