Flowers used to be gifts with multiple meanings but it looks as if any sense has eroded today. The flower shop advertises a buquet of roses as suitable for a funeral! I expect them to offer poison ivy as suitable for spring lovers and thistles for cheering up moms? Do you know the language of flowers?
No. But I know that sometimes the dead person really liked roses, and sending roses in their memory is more personal and meaningful than the established flower etiquette aims to be.
