Red roses say “I
love you” and also stand for respect and courage.
White roses have several meanings: “You’re heavenly,”
reverence and humility, innocence and purity, “I’m worthy of
you,” and secrecy and silence.
Red and white roses together, or white roses with red edges, signify unity.
Pink roses in general symbolize grace and gentility. For more subtle
shades of meaning, choose deep pink to stand for gratitude and appreciation.
Light pink conveys admiration and sympathy.
Yellow roses usually stand for joy and gladness, but can also say
“try to care.”
Coral or orange roses denote enthusiasm and desire. A deep
burgundy rose means “unconscious beauty.”
Red and yellow blends stand for jovial and happy feelings.
Pale colors convey sociability and friendship.
Rosebuds symbolize beauty, youth and a heart innocent of love or:
“You are young and beautiful.”
Red rosebuds mean “pure and lovely” and white rosebuds
signify girlhood or “too young to love.”
The moss rosebud stands for confessions of love.
A single rose stands for simplicity. In full bloom, it means “I love
you” or “I love you still,” and a bouquet of roses in full bloom
signifies gratitude.
Withered white roses have two meanings: fleeting beauty and “you made no
impression.”
Hybrid tea roses mean “I’ll remember you always” and
sweetheart roses symbolize just what their name implies.
Two roses taped or wired together to form a single stem signal an engagement or
coming marriage.
A full blown rose placed over two buds forms a combination that signifies
secrecy.
A crown made of roses signifies reward or virtue.
In general, leaves are a symbol of hope.
Regardless of color or stage of development, roses sent every month convey the
message: “beauty ever new.” Even if the rose recipient is not
familiar with these subtle shades of meaning, one message always stands out
loud and clear: The person who sends roses is a romantic saying something very
special.
