The Color of Roses... Sending The Right Meaning
While so many types of roses exist, when it comes to sending a message with flowers, nothing speaks louder than the color of a rose.
Here is a bouquet full of color information to help you convey the right meaning this month or any time throughout the year:
White Roses = Innocence, Purity, Secrecy, Reverence, Silence; Bridal White conveys "Happy Love"
Cream Roses = Charm (this is also represented by White), Graciousness, Thoughtfulness
Yellow Roses = Friendship, Freedom, Joy; "Welcome Back" & "I Care"
Orange Roses = Admiration, Desire, Enthusiasm, Fascination; when combined with Yellow Roses, they mean "Passionate Thoughts"
Pink Roses = Appreciation, Admiration, Gratitude, Happiness, Thankfulness
Lavender Roses = "Love at first sight," Enchantment
Red Roses = Courage & Respect, Love, Passion, Beauty; All Red Roses mean "I love you"; when combined with YellowRoses, they = "Congratulations"...but mix Red with White and you signify "Unity."
Do you know what you want to say to someone this season? Perhaps your friend, colleague, or elderly neighbor would delight in receiving a bunch of these beauties. Knowing the meaning of a rose color clarifies your message beyond the simple gesture of giving a lovely gift. Much happiness and love to you and yours! ~ Luci

My favorite are the dark pink roses...but I like them all. After I researched this entry, I remembered that I was given Lavender roses once...hmmmm. Looking back on it now, I wonder if there was a message behind the flowers!
Thanks to All for the comments.

That was interesting....
Now...if someone could just convince my husband to quit buying half dead bouquets at the grocery store...we'd be alright. (o;

Ha.. Donna Maria just read my mind! I was having the exact same thoughts to make sure I got all the colors I need on Valentine's Day. Oh well, the local florist might not have that much choices anyway, we'll see!

Luci, what a great post. I think I'll have to forward it secretly to my husband's email box. Though because I'm so friendly, charming, admired, gracious, lovable, passionate, thoughtful, caring, innocent, thankful, enthusiastic and loving, he just may have to get me all the colors to save the trouble of having to pick just one. HA!
