What
Each Color Rose Means
Roses are among the most common flowers given.
They are given to mark special occasions and holidays. They
are also given for no reason at all. Roses are versatile, coming
in many varieties and colors. It is possible to find roses
to suit just about any taste or preference. And a rose is almost
always a welcome gift.
However, just like different varieties of flowers, roses have
meanings. The color of the rose given represents different
things. While there are few people left in today’s societies
who actually care about the language of flowers and, more specifically,
roses, it is still interesting to know what different colored
roses mean. Besides, if you know what the colors mean, and
the recipient knows, then you share something that has more
meaning than any mere flower.
Red
roses: These are the classics. Everyone knows that red
roses are symbols of love. A single red rose with a long stem
can communicate, “I love you” more eloquently than a grand
bouquet of any other flower variety. They are the most popular
variety because their message is unmistakable. They are a symbol
of enduring romantic love. Because they are so popular, red
roses are very expensive around Valentine’s Day and Christmas,
when people are thinking about special loved ones.
Pink
roses: Pink roses come in three main colors. Each of
these colors — pale, light, and deep — means something different.
Pink roses mainly express feelings of a platonic nature. Pale
pink roses symbolize gratitude, grace, and gentleness. Light
pink roses indicate happiness and fun. They mean that the recipient
is a joy to behold, someone who is fun to be around. Deep pink
roses are expressions of gratitude. They are sent in thanks
for some benefit the sender received from the recipient.
Lavender
roses: Roses of this light purple, sometimes also
called lilac are indicative of love at first sight. When someone
sends these flowers, he or she is saying that the recipient
has enchanted the sender, and that he or she felt an immediate
attraction. These roses are especially appropriate to send
just after meeting someone, or if you particularly enjoyed
a date and felt that there was a strong mutual attraction.
White
roses: Like all things white, these are symbols of innocence,
purity, and truth. They also send the message that the sender
is worthy of the recipient (has pure intentions, is pure in
body and soul). White roses also send an “I miss you” message.
Coral
roses: Flowers of this color are bright and seem to
burn with passion. And for a color so bright, the only message
that can be sent is desire.
Peach
roses: Sending peach roses just like sending pink roses,
is a more platonic gesture. These roses can have two different
meanings. The first is of gratitude and appreciation, and the
second can be an expression of sympathy.
Orange
roses: Orange is a rather enthusiastic color, and this
is exactly what orange roses are meant to convey. Orange roses
are an indication of the enthusiasm that the sender feels for
the recipient. It is a happy, loving sort of enthusiasm. These
brightly colored roses also indicate desire.
Yellow
roses: Yellow roses are appropriate for a variety of
occasions, and are used often in congratulations. Weddings
and graduations are very good reasons to send yellow roses.
New mothers are also prime candidates for receiving yellow
roses. And, because the yellow rose is the flower of Texas,
no excuse is ever needed to send yellow roses to a Texan. A
Texan is always happy to receive a yellow rose, no matter the
occasion.
But there is one thing that yellow roses communicate loud
and clear — friendship. You should never send yellow roses
to someone for whom you have romantic feelings. These flowers
also indicate a desire for freedom, so if your significant
other is sending you yellow roses, he or she might be giving
you a subtle hint.
Finally, though few people would do this anymore, sending
dead roses is always an option. Dead roses, no matter their
color, can mean only on thing: “We’re through.” Sending a dead
rose may be the ultimate way to avoid a messy face-to-face
break up. # # # # #
