You've probably heard that "a rose is a rose is a rose," but while perfectly poetic, the Victorianswholeheartedlydisagree. Flower meaning dictionaries were quite popular during the Victorian era ? for instance, pink carnations meant "I will never forget you," andchrysanthemumsmeant "truth." Though people didn't necessarily send secret messages through buds and bouquets, the meanings were still important to people during that period.
