From one of my favorite passages -
He strayed down a walk edged with box, with apple trees, pear trees, and cherry trees on one side, and a border on the other full of all sorts of old-fashioned flowers, stocks, sweet-williams, primroses, pansies, mingled with southernwood, sweet-briar, and various fragrant herbs. They were fresh now as a succession of April showers and gleams, followed by a lovely spring morning, could make them: the sun was just entering the dappled east, and his light illumined the wreathed and dewy orchard trees and shone down the quiet walks under them.
“Jane, will you have a flower?”
He gathered a half-blown rose, the first on the bush, and offered it to me."
The language of flowers reveals that this passage hints towards Mr. Rochester's struggles over proposing to Jane. After much thought (pansies), he knows that revealing his feelings would require deception (cherry blossoms), wounding her sensitivity (sweet williams) and taking advantage of her youthful inexperience (primrose). He would wound Jane to heal himself (sweet briar), but promises love and devotion (rose) to his chosen partner.
