They are useful choices, not an authoritative ranking: flower meanings vary by culture, color, and source. The white carnation has the clearest historical connection to the U.S. holiday.
Why carnations are the traditional Mother’s Day flower
The white carnation is closely tied to the origins of the U.S. Mother’s Day flower custom. After her mother died in 1905, Anna M. Jarvis wore her mother’s favorite flower, a white carnation. At an early observance in Grafton, West Virginia, Jarvis distributed 500 carnations to honor mothers, according to the Library of Congress.
A 1911 florist-trade publication quoted Jarvis describing the flower’s symbolism: “Its whiteness stands for purity, its form, beauty, and its fragrance love, its wide field of growth charity; its lasting qualities, faithfulness- all a true mother’s attributes.” The Library of Congress recounts this as Jarvis’s explanation, not a universal floral code.
Congress designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day in 1914. Flower giving later grew into a commercial tradition, including FTD’s “Say it With Flowers” campaign in 1918. That history helps distinguish Jarvis’s personal memorial gesture from the subsequent promotion of flowers as holiday gifts.

Seven flowers and what they can express
These associations can help you choose a message, but they are not fixed rules. English Heritage notes that historic flower dictionaries disagreed, and there is little evidence that people generally used bouquets to send precise, widely understood messages. Choose for the recipient first; symbolism is an extra touch.
Carnation: remembrance and maternal affection
Carnations connect most directly to the U.S. Mother’s Day tradition. Modern gift guides often describe pink carnations as expressing love and gratitude, while Jarvis’s account focused on the white carnation. Color meanings are not universal, so a favorite color is a better guide than a strict code.

Rose: love, gratitude, or admiration
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) associates roses generally with love and good fortune. In its symbolism guide, pink roses suggest admiration, joy, and gratitude; red roses suggest eternal love; and yellow roses suggest friendship and caring. Traditions differ: English Heritage describes a Victorian association between yellow roses and infidelity. Treat rose colors as suggestions, not guarantees of what a recipient will infer.
Lily: purity, modesty, admiration, or motherhood
The RHS lists lilies with purity and modesty. Teleflora associates lilies with motherhood, describing pink lilies as symbols of admiration and love and white lilies as symbols of chastity and honor. These are source-specific traditions rather than meanings recognized everywhere.

How to choose a flower for your mom
- Start with what she likes. A favorite flower or color is more personal than a symbolism guide.
- Choose the message you want to add. A carnation can acknowledge the holiday’s history; a rose can suggest gratitude or admiration; a daffodil can mark a new beginning.
- Consider family and cultural traditions. Meanings can change across cultures, sources, and generations.
- Decide between a cut bouquet and a plant. Some flowers can be planted and enjoyed beyond the holiday; availability depends on location and season.
Hydrangeas, jasmine, iris, and gerberas are also reasonable alternatives when they suit the recipient better. No published ranking or named statistic establishes these seven as the “most symbolic” flowers; the selection is a practical group of options with documented associations.
Keeping a cut bouquet fresh
For cut flowers, University of Illinois Extension advises changing the water every two days, keeping the arrangement away from direct sun and heat, and removing wilted material. Its vase-life guidance covers additional care details.
