June brings the start of summer, graduations, weddings and the longest days of the year. Roses, peonies and jasmine bloom, and gardens smell their sweetest. June’s birth flower is the rose, queen of flowers, with honeysuckle as the second. Here’s what they mean, what blooms in June and which bouquet to give someone born in June. Next month: July flowers.
The rose is June’s flower and the best-known symbol of love. Its meaning depends on colour: red for passion, white for purity and new beginnings, pink for tenderness and gratitude, yellow for joy and friendship. June is peak season for garden roses, making them especially fitting. Everything about varieties and symbolism is in our roses guide.
June’s second flower is honeysuckle, a fragrant climber symbolising devotion, connection and happy love. It’s rarely used in bouquets but adorns arbours and fences. Other months are listed in birth month flowers.
