Flowers have helped us convey our feelings for centuries and their colors play a big part in that. Roses are one of the most popular types of flower and being that they come in various colors and varieties, there is so much one can say when handing over a rose.
White roses are one of the oldest varieties and are considered a classic flower as well as modern. They symbolize purity, innocence and loyalty, which is why they are greatly used in weddings and other religious ceremonies.
Red roses speak of passion, love, respect and courage. There is no better way to say “I love you” than with a bouquet of deep red roses. They can also convey thoughts of courage and congratulations.
Spring favorites such as pink and yellow roses convey joy and happiness. Pink varieties can range from pale blush, which express gentleness and grace, to a deep and vibrant pink, which compliment gratitude.
Traditionally, yellow roses are a symbol of friendship and happiness. According to Rose Magazine, they are considered an ancient flower and weren’t popular until the 1700s. A bunch of yellow roses are perfect to send to a newly engaged couple, a sick friend or a loved one you are welcoming back home.
Roses of orange hues such as coral and peach express desire, fascination and pride. Coral evoke happiness and enthusiasm while peach varieties are used to show gratitude and appreciation.
The most mystical rose, lavender speaks of royalty and opulence and can very well be used to express love at first sight while black roses, actually dark red, symbolize death and rebirth.
Now that you know a little more about the colorful language of flowers, consider using a gorgeous rose bouquet or a single stem to express your message with an added depth of meaning. These colorful, beautiful blooms are enough to make anyone want to stop and smell the roses.
