Vintage photo of two young women with roses

Description: Vintage sepia toned real photo post card (RPPC) of two young woman in white blouses, both with roses pinned to their clothing. Victorian womenoften pinned roses to their clothing to participate in the era's fascination with floriography and to signify romantic feelings like love and passion, or simply as a fashionable and decorative accessory. The "language of flowers" allowed them to send subtle messages to others, and the rose, particularly the red rose, was a prominent symbol for love. Wearing a rose was also a way to display an interest in nature, as flowers were a popular decorative element in fashion during this time, particularly for affluent women.
