Since Antiquity, roses have been associated with feelings. A red rose means "I love you" , but a yellow rose stands for jealousy and infidelity. A white rose symbolizes purity, while the rosebud suggests young and innocent love and the moss rose, voluptuous love. In the language of flowers, each rose type, rose color and rose part have a different signification.
White Roses:
- White is the color of purity, chastity and innocence. It stands for chastity, perfection and reverence. The white rose is associated with new beginnings and is the symbol of virginity and innocence. White roses are traditionally associated with marriages and new beginnings. White flowers can be used to convey sympathy or humility. They also are indicative of spirituality. Hence, white roses also follow suit.
Red roses:
- A red rose is an unmistakable expression of love. Red Roses can also be used to convey respect, admiration or devotion. Red roses are used to say "I love you," and are symbolic of unconditional love. Red roses express deep feelings of love to a very special person and should therefore never be offered on a first date or to a person with whom one is not intimate..
Pink roses: - There are a lot of variations of the pink rose. Over all, pink roses are used to convey gentle emotions such as admiration, joy and gratitude. Pink roses also connote elegance and grace, sophistication. Pink roses are expressions of platonic love and friendship. The pink rose is often given as an expression of beginning love or admiration, as it has a gentler meaning than their red counterparts
Blue Roses:
- Blue roses do not occur in nature. Our blue roses have been painstakingly created and imbued with a special meaning. Much like its mysterious origin, the blue rose means mystery. The blue rose symbolizes the impossible, or the unattainable. Since the blue rose itself is a rarity in nature, it stands for something that is hardly within one's grasp, an object that seems too difficult to be achieved. They say "I can't have you but I can't stop thinking about you".
Rose bouquets and their meanings.
- A Dozen Roses:
A dozen being the perfect number in many ancestral cultures, a dozen roses stand for love and gratitude. It reinforces the message of the color of the rose chosen. - Two Dozen Roses:
A double dozen is twice as perfect and means "I belong to you", or it may refer to the 24 hours in a day and say that "you think about them every hour". - One hundred roses:
One hundred roses refer to the number of years in a century and mean eternal or unchanging and unconditional love. - A Single Red Rose means I love you.
A Single Rose in any color expresses simplicity and gratitude.
