Roses Dream Meaning

In my view, honestly seeing roses in dreams is so lucky. In all my folklore books it is a lucky omen. Roses have many meanings to them based on culture and mythology. Seeing a rose bush is all about moving towards something good in life. The actual color of the rose is also super important. Red indicates great luck, gold is spiritual development and white is pure and spiritual gifts will be yours in my folklore books.

Because of the many meanings of roses, the meaning in the dream depends on what you personally feel about the roses in your dream, and this dictates their meaning. If you experience roses with longing or sadness, this will indicate a loss in your life. Usually, this is not something coming your way, but something that you have already experienced. Fragrant roses that are given or seen with the happiness of love, then there is usually a positive inclination but it can also be indicative to feeling loved or happy in your waking life. 

A rose produces the strongest scent and often, because of its fragrance, it can also bring up a lot of past memories that are represented in dreams. When you have dreams of roses you should not put too much stock in them as sometimes they are just dreams and the other details of the dream is what will dictate the true meaning. The rose or roses in a dream should be thought of as a complement to a larger dream meaning.

Roses have been associated with love and romance for a long time. It is believed that Aphrodite's tears and the blood of Adonis, the Greek goddess of love, flowed into it creating red roses. Roman mythology believes that red roses are a symbol of love and romance. Christians believed that the flower represented Mary's virtue. In Hinduism, Lakshmi (deity of wealth and fortune) was said to have received 1008 red rose petals as well as 108 large roses in an ide for Vishnu. In dreams, and popular culture roses have been a symbol of love and romance.
