No pun intended, but I was just amazed with the myriad colored roses that flower shops are coming up with, now that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. These amazing roses that they come up with can come in yellow, orange, peach, (was that lavender?), purple, pink, red and white. (Some of my Goth friends were even looking for black and dark blue).
Nothing excites a girl more than receiving a dozen red roses on Valentine’s Day. I know for a fact that this is true when I gave my wife a dozen long stem roses last year during Valentine’s Day. I had our two-year old baby girl wrapped in red ribbon, then had her carry the bunch of flowers to her mom saying, “Hape Bayentimes!”
Suddenly remembering something I read over the net about the meaning of these colored roses, I tried to search for some info regarding and looked at some websites like 1800Flowers.com, which portrayed a remarkable array of flowers including multi-colored roses, and some other flower related sites. I came up with the following:
Yellow Roses – A sign of true friendship. Yellow roses are given to people whom we share our joy and happiness. It can also signify “Congratulations” or “glad to have you here”.
Orange or Peach Roses – Vibrant energy is often depicted with the color orange. A bunch of orange roses signify a personal fascination, passion or longing to the recipient. Peach roses are more subdued and signify sincerity and gratitude. It can also mean you’re sharing sympathy to the person.
Lavender or Purple Roses – A lavender rose means enchantment or basically love at first sight. “I adore you”, that’s what a person meant when giving a lavender rose. Purple roses have the same basic meaning, but it is more attributed to elegance and grandeur.
Pink Roses – This kind of rose signifies gentle, sweet and innocent emotions and thoughts. It also means grace, gentleness and refinement. These roses are given as a sign of admiration, simple joy and happiness.
Red Roses - The ancient symbol of love and beauty, red roses simply means “I Love You”. It signifies steadfast and enduring love. It can also mean great courage and respect.
White Roses – White is the ancient symbol of purity. It can also signify innocence. Such meanings made white roses perfect for bridal bouquets to signify the purity of marriage, as well as honor, loyalty and a new beginning.
Now that you know the meaning of these multi-colored roses, you can now start giving them away and can rightfully explain the meaning of the color and why you are giving it to them.
Just wait till I get my hands on a black rose!
