The June birth flower: the Rose
The rose is June's birth flower, the classic emblem of love whose meaning shifts with its colour: red for passion, pink for gratitude, white for purity. Honeysuckle, its companion, stands for the bonds of lasting affection.
What the June birth flower means
In the Victorian language of flowers, the Rose carried the meaning of love, passion and devotion. That is why it makes such a fitting birthday gift or tattoo for anyone born in June: it says something without needing words. The secondary June flower, the Honeysuckle, adds its own shade of meaning for those who want a second option.
Pairing the June flower with its birthstone
June's birthstone is Pearl, a creamy white (colour-change for alexandrite) gem. A Rose flower next to a Pearl stone is a natural birthday pairing, especially for jewellery, cards or tattoos that combine both. Anyone born this month also falls under Gemini or Cancer.
