Symbolic meaning of the flower
Flowers are a great way to say “thank you” or say you’re sorry, so choosing the right color is important because that’s the meaning of the gift. Since burgundy roses come in different shades, each of them has its own symbolic meaning:
- A burgundy rose, like a red one, is a true symbol of passion, warm feelings of the giver, an ideal gift for a friend or wife;
- A rose of deep burgundy color is a sign of respect, admiration for endless beauty, it is suitable for older women;
- The light color of flowers expresses charm and admiration for a person; such compositions are suitable for celebrating an anniversary;
- A darker, almost black color symbolizes closeness, deep respect, sometimes even regret - such flowers are often given as gifts in the business world.
When choosing roses for a lady, preference should be given to unopened, compact buds, since too open buds symbolize wilting.
Wedding compositions
Before making a bouquet, you need to determine which flowers it will be created from. It is advisable to consult a professional florist. You can come up with an idea yourself.
Of roses
Rose is optimal for creating classic compositions. Breeders have developed buds of rich burgundy color, which are the personification of ardent passion, and florists boldly decorate them with rhinestones and sparkles.
Dark roses are presented in a large palette of shades:
- classic burgundy;
- with lavender reflections;
- with purple notes.
A classic color is recommended for a wedding bouquet , since too dark is associated with fading feelings and fading beauty, and an admixture of light shades suggests a passing infatuation.
From lilies
The large buds of lilies are exquisite and exude a divine aroma. This flower symbolizes innocence, boundless happiness and fidelity, therefore it is ideally suited for creating a wedding composition.
This bouquet is suitable for a romantic, gentle girl who appreciates sophisticated style. When creating a mono-composition, long stems are intercepted with decorative tape. White or pink buds are added to dark red ones to make the accessory contrasting and more textured.
From orchids
Exquisite, exotic orchids have long been given to the closest and dearest people, because the symbolism of these flowers is closely connected with passion and tenderness. In eastern countries, the orchid represents renewal of life and unfading youth. She is considered a symbol of spiritual harmony and material wealth, the protection of higher powers, fertility and perfection.
Burgundy orchids are not very common, but if you try, you can find them in prestigious florist salons. The petals have both a solid shade with a burgundy-pink gradient, and decoration in the form of burgundy spots.
Orchids go well with lilies or roses, with each flower becoming a full partner in the trio. If the emphasis is on orchids, then hydrangeas or alstroemerias would be a good addition.
From calla lilies
Burgundy delicate callas are suitable for fragile girls with an expressive appearance. The flower personifies admiration, respect and admiration, is a talisman of the family hearth and has a pleasant vanilla aroma.
Advice! A dark composition of callas should not be made too voluminous, since the rich color in itself is a bright accent.
The stems are traditionally tied with a decorative ribbon without a porta bouquet. It is acceptable to combine dark buds with white ones, as well as with orchids and roses of different shades.

What kind of girls is it suitable for?
Expressive burgundy makes exquisite monochrome bouquets. They will not blend in with the color of the bride-to-be's dress (with the exception of a tone-on-tone dress). Since this color cannot be called delicate, it is rarely chosen by young girls, but it will help give young women a special nobility, grace and mystery. To enhance the effect, you need to do a manicure and makeup to match, decorate the bodice of the outfit with burgundy embroidery and wear a ruby bracelet.
Mature women will also like this composition. They should give preference to a pink or red outfit, against which the burgundy composition looks especially elegant.
Burgundy flowers not only create a luxurious composition, but also emphasize refined taste , high position in society, and special status, which is why wealthy women often choose them.
In order for a snow-white dress to harmonize with the dark shades of the bouquet, it is necessary to add fresh flowers of the same shade to the bride’s hairstyle, shoes, and belt on the dress. The groom's boutonniere should also be burgundy.
When forming a wedding composition, it is necessary to take into account the following nuances:
- The girl's build and height;
- Wedding dress model;
- Hair and skin color of the future bride.
An experienced florist will be able to create an impeccable composition if he knows all of the above features of his customer, so you need to meet with a specialist in advance and describe the wedding dress to him in detail .
Options for using burgundy roses in the landscape
Marginal rose beds have a festive and elegant look and give the entire garden a sense of completion, demonstrating good taste and status. When creating such compositions, the burgundy shade must be correctly combined with other colors, otherwise the dark rose will get lost among them and lose its exclusivity.
Delicate peach, coral, white and yellow colors go well with burgundy roses. You can also create a beautiful monocluster of several shades of burgundy, and to prevent them from merging, plant red varieties between them. In a rose garden, a burgundy bush is best placed in the center, especially if it is a beautiful tea hybrid that is the pride of the gardener.

- poinsettia;
- Cordyline;
- irezine;
- nidularium;
- triangular oxalis.
Indoor flower with red leaves - an original interior element
This is a list of the most popular plants that have red leaves at the top. To ensure that indoor plants are always pleasing to the eye and their color does not fade, you need to familiarize yourself with the nuances of care.
Poinsettia
Poinsettia, or Christmas star, as it is popularly called, is a variety of Euphorbiaceae. The second name arose due to the presence of bright red foliage at the top of the cap, which usually appears at the beginning of winter. The plant is native to Mexico and Central America. It has a number of subspecies:
- spherical;
- large-horned;
- sparkling.
Poinsettia
Poinsettia is not picky when it comes to care. The main thing is to place the plant in a place without drafts and avoid strong temperature changes. Feels uncomfortable in very hot weather and cannot tolerate strong shade. Grows well in diffused light. She needs to be provided with abundant watering and constant spraying. In winter, it sheds its leaves. During this period it looks unpresentable. Propagated by cuttings - shoots containing at least five leaves.
Important! Euphorbia poinsettia juice is poisonous. It may cause minor skin burns. All pruning and replanting procedures are performed with gloves.
Cordilina
A subshrub from the Agave family from the tropics resembles a palm tree. But it has nothing to do with palm trees. More likely, a relative of the dracaena. It grows up to half a meter in height.
It attracts with its unusual appearance, or rather with its elongated red leaves, which are tightly spaced in relation to each other. As it grows, the lower leaves fall off, and the upper ones form a chic hat. There are varieties of cordyline, differing in foliage colors:
- green;
- red and white.
Cordilina
Cordyline must be placed in a warm place where rays of diffused light fall. Does not like frequent watering. Optimal temperature:
- in summer 20-23 °C;
- in winter 13-17 °C.
It responds well to systematic moistening and annual replanting. Overmoistening is detrimental to cordyline.
Irezine
An unusually bright flower from the Amaranthaceae family. Most often found with leaves that have an epileptic shape and a red-burgundy color. In addition, there are varieties with greenish leaves with crimson veins.
Irezine
Irezine is unpretentious in care. It develops well in diffused light and does not respond to minor temperature changes. Can tolerate drought and low air humidity readings.
Nidularium
A house plant native to the tropics. Belongs to the Bromeliaceae family. The flower is distinguished by the absence of a stem. Sharp green leaves emerge directly from the base. Red leaf plates appear at the top of the plant during the flowering period.
Nidularium
After flowering, the rosette disappears, and in its place several new shoots appear, which also begin to bloom. In this way, nidularium multiplies quickly.
Important! The plant must be protected from direct sunlight, watered frequently and maintained at a high level of humidity.
Oxalis triangularis
The plant is stemless, belongs to the sorrel family, popularly known as hare cabbage. The foliage is carved, like clover, red with a purple tint. During the daytime, the leaves tend to rise, and in the evening they begin to fall. It has another name - Madame Butterfly because of the shape of the leaf, which resembles a butterfly.
Oxalis triangularis
Indoors, it is located in a place that is well lit. Otherwise, the color of the foliage will change, darken and approach a greenish tint. Watering should be moderate. Periodically in the spring and summer they are fed with liquid fertilizers. In winter, when at rest, it grows its crown.
