The history of giving flowers goes back to a long tradition and as far back as ancient Egypt. There, flowers and their scent were considered a sign of the presence of gods. In contrast, the Greeks mostly gifted flowers to young women to celebrate female beauty. No matter which culture you look at, flowers as a gift have always been respected and part of good manners in society.
Victorian Era
In the Victorian era, flowers were mostly given to express feelings. People often found it difficult to put their emotions into words, which is why they relied on the help of flowers. The way roses were handed over also had a meaning and always had to be considered. Roses held downwards during the handover could mean anger in those times. That's why we still recommend that you always hold the flowers upright today to avoid sending the wrong signals.
