The red rose, whether a true red or a variation such as a deep burgundy red, has been linked since Victorian times with romantic love and passion. Red roses also signify respect and courage. Given as rosebuds to reflect the beauty of a young lover or in full bloom to say, "I love you still," the red rose's expression of love is perfect for Valentine's Day, a wedding anniversary -- or any romantic occasion.
In earlier times, yellow roses were given to convey jealousy. Today, the yellow rose is given to celebrate a new beginning, express an apology or sympathy, and to say, "remember me." Yellow roses are appropriate for marking the beginning of a new life together or for starting all over again.
Red and white roses given together symbolize unity or togetherness. Life can be made so much easier by sticking together! Give red and white roses when facing a challenging life event or to celebrate a strengthening relationship.
Pink is a happy color, and it isn't just for girls. Pink roses are associated with friendship and marriage, and for either gender, they express warm feelings, happiness or pride. They are wonderful given as a birthday bouquet, anniversary arrangement, or to celebrate landing that coveted job!
Peach roses express desire or anticipation. They are a good choice to send following a wonderful first date to say, "let's get together again." Sent to a business partner after the closing of a successful deal, they signify sincere appreciation and optimism for future ventures. Any occasion that calls for enthusiasm and sincerity calls for peach roses.
A white rose symbolizes innocence and purity as well as youthfulness. Also known as the "flower of light," the white rose signifies spiritual love and anticipation of happiness. White roses are appropriate for a new baby's birth or christening, a ballerina's first recital, and of course, for a bridal bouquet!
