Rose Meanings Explained
Roses are the traditional gift given on special
occasions, but they're well-received any time of year. The
color and type of rose does carry a meaning, though. Be
aware of what you’re giving: the color of a rose can have a
very different meaning from what you intend. If you’re
giving roses as a gift, follow this guide to make sure you
send the message you want to send:
• Red Roses: Red roses
say, "I love you." Red roses are the ultimate symbol of
romantic love and enduring passion. Florists can't keep up
with the special occasions demand for red roses, which makes
them especially expensive in February.
• Pale Pink Roses: Pale
pink roses imply grace, gentleness, and joy.
• Light Pink Roses: Light
pink roses express a sense of fun, happiness, and whimsy.
• Deep Pink Roses: Deep
pink roses say, "Thank you."
• Lilac Roses: Lilac roses
indicate the sender has fallen in love at first sight with
the recipient and is enchanted. (To make sure the recipient
doesn’t miss the message, an appropriate card might also be
a good idea. The meaning of lilac roses isn’t as
widely-known as the meaning of red roses, for instance.)
• White Roses: Pure white
roses symbolize truth and innocence. They also send other
messages like, "I miss you," and "You're heavenly” (or both,
if your loved one is away.)
• Coral Roses: Coral roses
express one thing through their passionate color: Desire.
• Peach Roses: Peach roses
signify appreciation, gratitude, modesty, and also can
convey sympathy.
