× Because roses indicate red color, which indicates love.
✓ Because roses indicate the red color, which indicates love.
The definite article 'the' is needed before 'red color' to specify a particular color associated with roses. Without 'the', the phrase is grammatically incomplete.
× She has planted way too many flowers in her garden which makes her very calming and she finds flower very peaceful and colorful.
✓ She has planted way too many flowers in her garden which makes her very calm and she finds flowers very peaceful and colorful.
The adjective 'calming' is incorrect here; 'calm' describes a person's state. Also, 'flower' should be plural 'flowers' to agree with 'many' and the context.
× Flowers are part of the nature, so there are various type of flowers you may find in random roads or gardens.
✓ Flowers are part of nature, so there are various types of flowers you may find on random roads or in gardens.
'Nature' is an uncountable noun and does not need 'the'. 'Type' should be plural 'types' to agree with 'various'. Also, the prepositions 'on' and 'in' are more appropriate for 'roads' and 'gardens' respectively.
