What Does the Dogwood Flower Mean? None of the Dogwood species currently growing are native to the Middle East where Christianity first developed. However, the same symbolism is generally applied to all types of Dogwoods regardless of native status. This tree means:

Rebirth and resurrection, particularly through the story of Jesus Christ

Christianity as a whole

Pity and regret over a specific decision or a situation that was beyond your control

Durability and reliability

Strength and resilience

Purity, especially in a religious or spiritual sense

A signal of affection to someone who may not reciprocate it.

The Victorians did ascribe an extra meaning to the flower because the story tying the tree to the Crucifixion wasn’t written yet. A bachelor would offer a Dogwood flower sprig to a woman he felt affection towards and waited for a response. If the flower was returned, he was out of luck. A woman keeping the flower signaled an interest or mutual attraction. The flower was also a symbol of reliability and durability during that era due to the strength of the wood.
