Giving roses on Valentines Day has become a popular
tradition but you can make your gift more meaningful if you
choose a color that conveys a specific message.
Each rose color has a different meaning, usually more than
one. If you want to be sure that your loved one receives the
message you intended, include it on the accompanying card.
Red Roses Red roses convey a simple message: "I love
you". This makes them the ultimate symbol of romantic love
and the most popular choice on Valentines Day. Other
meanings for red roses include desire, passion, courage,
respect, beauty and sincerity. A red rosebud symbolizes
purity and loveliness.
Coral Roses Coral roses speak of desire and passion.
Lilac or Lavender Roses Lilac roses reveal love at
first sight or enchantment.
Orange Roses Orange roses communicate desire,
enthusiasm and fascination. They make an excellent choice
for a new relationship that you wish to pursue further.
Peach Roses Peach roses express gratitude,
appreciation, admiration or sympathy. They can also convey
sociability and friendship and send the message "Lets get
together". A pale peach rose symbolizes modesty.
Pink Roses In general, pink roses symbolize grace,
gentility and happiness and express appreciation and gratitude.
Pale Pink Roses Pale pink roses connote grace, joy,
gentility and gratitude.
Light Pink Roses Light pink roses suggest happiness
and fun. Like all pink roses, they also convey admiration
and appreciation.
Deep Pink Roses Deep pink roses say "Thank you". They
also express appreciation, admiration, sincerity and sympathy.
White Roses Second only to red roses in popularity,
white roses symbolize truth and innocence. They also
represent silence, secrecy, reverence, humility,
youthfulness and charm. You can use them to say, "Youre
heavenly", "I miss you" and "Im worthy of you". A white
rosebud symbolizes girlhood.
Yellow Roses Yellow roses symbolize friendship and
freedom, so are not specifically romantic roses. They convey
congratulations, joy, gladness and delight. But they also
promise a new beginning, say "Welcome back" and "Remember
me", and can convey jealousy and caring. Yellow roses with
red tips convey friendship and falling in love.
Dead Roses Dead roses in any color convey "Its over!"
Combining Rose Colors New meanings arise when you
combine two rose colors. Here are just a few examples:
* Red and Yellow Roses Expresses happiness and
celebration
* Red and White Roses Symbolizes unity or an engagement
* White and Yellow Roses Symbolizes harmony
Additional Rose Symbols A bouquet of blooming roses
in any color conveys gratitude and symbolizes beauty and
perfection. Or you can opt for sending a message with a
single rose.
* Single Red Rose "I love you"
* Single
Rose In Any Color "Thank you"
* Two Roses
Entwined "Marry me"
* A Thornless Rose "It was love at first sight"
* Tea Roses "Ill always remember you"
* A Rosebud In Any Color Symbolizes youth and beauty
So no matter what your situation, there is a rose color or
combination that will express what you want to say.
Valentines Day is the perfect occasion to declare your
intentions, remind someone how much you care, or express
your appreciation of a friendship.
