| Roses are the traditional gift given
on Valentines Day, but they're
well-received any time of year. The color
and type of rose does carry a meaning,
though. Be aware of what you’re
giving: the color of a rose can have a
very different meaning from what you
intend. If you’re giving roses as a
gift, follow this guide to make sure you
send the message you want to send: •
Red Roses: Red roses say, "I love
you." Red roses are the ultimate
symbol of romantic love and enduring
passion. Florists can't keep up with the
Valentines Day demand for red roses,
which makes them especially expensive in
February.
• Pale Pink Roses: Pale pink
roses imply grace, gentleness, and joy.
• Light Pink Roses: Light pink
roses express a sense of fun, happiness,
and whimsy.
• Deep Pink Roses: Deep pink
roses say, "Thank you."
• Lilac Roses: Lilac roses
indicate the sender has fallen in love at
first sight with the recipient and is
enchanted. (To make sure the recipient
doesn’t miss the message, an
appropriate card might also be a good
idea. The meaning of lilac roses
isn’t as widely-known as the meaning
of red roses, for instance.)
• White Roses: Pure white roses
symbolize truth and innocence. They also
send other messages like, "I miss
you," and "You're
heavenly” (or both, if your loved
one is away.)
• Coral Roses: Coral roses
express one thing through their
passionate color: Desire.
• Peach Roses: Peach roses
signify appreciation, gratitude, modesty,
and also can convey sympathy.
• Orange Roses: Orange roses
communicate enthusiasm, desire, and
fascination on the part of the sender.
• Yellow Roses: Yellow roses
indicate friendship and freedom ? so
don't send them if your intentions are
romantic and long-lasting. Yellow roses
are also appropriate for sending
congratulations to newlyweds, graduates,
and new mothers.
• Dead Roses: Regardless of the
original color, dead roses say "It's
over," loud, clear, and in a tacky
and less than classy way.
Combining Colors
Put two or more colors of roses
together, and a new rose meaning arises:
• White Roses + Yellow Roses: A
symbol of harmony.
• Red Roses + Yellow Roses: A
message of happiness and celebration.
• Red Roses + White Roses: An
indication of bonding and harmony.
Other Rose Symbolism
These are acceptable ways to convey a
meaning giving roses:
• 12 Roses: Gratitude. Any
bouquet in full bloom also implies the
“full flowering” of the emotion
being conveyed: a bouquet of red roses in
full bloom implies the full flowering of
love.
• 24 Roses: Congratulations
• 48 Roses: Unconditional love.
• Single Red Rose: "I love
you," (but I'm not going to go broke
telling you.) A single red rose in a bud
vase is a great way to surprise and charm
a loved one.
• Single Rose of Any Color:
"Thank you," (and I'm still not
going to go broke saying so.)
• Two Roses Entwined: An
engagement or marriage is in the near
future.
