Background Stamps Pattern

Suitors popularized the rose as a symbol of love during the Victorian era. Strict rules of conduct made it impossible for smitten young men to express their feelings verbally. A "language of flowers" developed, allowing lovers to express their feelings through the type, color, and number of flowers they gave each other.

 

Red roses represent love, while pink roses represent sweetness, grace, and poetic romance. White roses carried on a bride's wedding day represent eternal love, purity, and innocence.

 

Long-stemmed roses, according to legend, are an expression of love and devotion. They represent deep and lasting love. A dozen roses represent complete love because the number twelve represents a complete cycle. Because there are 24 hours in a day, two dozen roses represent complete devotion every moment of every day. So using the stamps with the wedding roses is a unique way to send a message of love.

 

Forever stamps are always worth the same as the current first-class mail one-ounce rate.

The design is of wedding roses.

Ideal for weddings, invitations, and other mailings.
