The idea of a red rose being a symbol of love is the result of centuries of pop culture associating the red rose as having to do with love, but why?

The red rose is the symbol of love and romance in western culture.
The ancient Greeks were the original inspiration with their myths around various flowers including the red rose.
“…there is the tale of Chloris, goddess of flowers and springtime (Roman: Flora). As the story goes, early one morning Chloris was out walking when she stumbled upon the lifeless body of a woodland nymph. Saddened by the innocent creature’s fate, Chloris decided to breathe life anew, transforming the nymph’s body into a flower. She called out to Zephyrus, husband and keeper of the west wind, asking him to blow away the clouds in the sky so that Apollo might allow the sun to cast down its warming rays. To this, Aphrodite would add beauty, and Dionysus a nectar of intoxicating aroma… the three Graces further bestowing upon the blossom the gifts of charm, joy, and splendor. All agreed it was the most spectacular of flowers, truly “The Queen of Flowers.” Aphrodite named the flower Rose, dedicating it to her son, Eros, the god of love.
Chloris then called upon Iris and Aurora to spread the word. Iris borrowed a touch of rose’s color, while Aurora painted the morning sky in rose-tinted hues. Upon being presented the rose by Chloris, Eros would offer it as a bribe to Harpocrates (goddess of silence), hoping to cover up his mother’s recent indiscretions. Thus, roses would also come to be associated with silence and secrecy.”
“A second rose-scented tale of Aphrodite involves her lover, Adonis, and the myth of how the rose turned red. One day, Adonis was out hunting boar. Ares, jealous of Adonis, had secretly sent the wild boar to harm him. At the last moment, Ares shares this knowledge with Aphrodite, who rushes to warn him. As she hurries to her lover’s aid, she scratches herself on a rose bush, splashing speckles of blood on their soft white petals, turning the blossoms red. Unfortunately, she is too late to the scene, and Adonis perishes from a fatal wound to his thigh. As Aphrodite cries over her lover’s body, her tears fall into the pools of blood surrounding them, and the mixture gives rise to the anemone flower.”
Thus anemones have been the symbol of abandoned love or mourning.
The association of red roses with romance has persisted into modern western culture, and it probably has a lot to do with Valentine’s Day. When western people are surveyed on their favourite flower roses are the clear winner. Most of those people could also tell you that they know that red roses are romantic but would not have a clue what yellow roses signify. There is no particular occasion that demands yellow roses but red roses are de rigueur if you want to impress on Valentine’s Day.
The colour is important. A bright red rose signifies romance, while dark crimson roses are a flower of mourning (or in some meanings a love yet to be realized). The ancient Romans planted them on the graves of their loved ones. Carnations in red are also a romantic flower, red tulips are also a confession of love, but these meanings are not as well known as the red rose.
