One Rose, Two Rose, Red Rose, Blue Rose
On your way home from work you stop at the local flower and pick
up a beautiful bouquet of flowers hoping to swoon the one you
love. The florist asks you what color of roses you want. You
stand there dumbfounded. You didn't even know that roses came in
any other color than red. Trying not to sound confused you say
red roses because the is all you know. The florist kindly
prepares your bouquet and you go on your merry way. Little did
you know that you missed the perfect opportunity make your
significant other's heart melt.
Did you know, that every color of rose conveys a different
message? If not then this article is for you. Let's face it, for
guys, and even girls, it is hard to stumble with words trying to
say something just right. There's a better way. Let roses do the
talking for you. Below is a brief list of the rose colors and
their meaning so you impress your loved one.
Red
Rose - Romantic Love, Beauty, Honor, Respect - These
roses are classic and can be given at almost anytime. With red
roses the 'less is more' theory works well. A single rose may be
more effective than a large bouquet depending on the situation.
These are definitely a good idea for anniversaries, proposals,
Valentine's Day and other such occasions. A red rose is timeless
gift for her.
White Roses - Purity, Innocence, Happy Love, Silence,
Symbol of Girlhood, Charm - White roses are elegant when given
right but they are a flop when they are not. They are great
decorations at wedding, gifts for a daughter or daughter in law,
and they can be mixed with red roses for an interesting effect.
They are also great birthday gifts. Don't use them to say 'I'm
sorry'.
Dark Pink - Appreciation, Thank you - These are the roses
you give to your secretary, co-worker and friends. They are
elegant and beautiful but not very romantic. They say a
heartfelt but not romantically interested 'Thank You' very well.
Light Pink- Admiration, joy, gentleness, tenderness,
sympathy - These rose can save you a lot of time when that
special someone is mad at you. They are a gentle touch that says
"I love you and I think you are wonderful". They are also great
to give to older people that you hold in high regard like your
grandmother.
Yellow Rose - Friendship, Welcome Back, We've been
thinking of you - Yellow roses are a great thing to give when
someone has been a way for a while or if you just want to say
"I'm thinking about you".
Orange - Enthusiasm, Desire - These roses are great for
when you want to show that special someone how happy you are to
be with them.
I've only included the basics so as not to confuse anyone;
however, there are a lot more colors and even combinations of
color out there. Once you've mastered these, try going out on a
limb and giving different colors than those mentioned. You'll
have all of the ladies impressed in no time, especially when you
can tell them what it means too.
One final note, if this is too hard for you to remember or too
subtle for you. There is a company called Speaking Roses that
can print any pattern, words, or design right on the rose pedals
them selves. Their website is http://www.speakingroses.com .
No matter what you want to say or how you want to say it
remember roses speak silent volumes.
