The Symbolism Of Roses

Everyone knows that roses are beautiful. Whether they are growing in bushes at the park, in the flower box of the sweet old lady next door, or livening up the dining room in a vase, these flowers are sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who receives them. What makes them even more intriguing, however, is that different colors of roses have different meanings ascribed to them.

The classic red rose symbolizes love, respect, and passion. Nothing says “I love you” quite like a red rose.

The yellow rose is a symbol of friendship and joy, the perfect flower to give a friend or family member for a special occasion.

Since the orange rose is a mix of the yellow and red rose, it can suit many occasions. This rose represents passion and enthusiasm, great for nearly any romantic or platonic situation.

White roses represent purity and innocence. They also symbolize new beginnings, which is why they are very common at weddings.

The pink rose comes in various shades, but every one of them is perfect for expressing gratitude. Darker pink roses can be given as a “thank you” to someone important, while lighter pinks exude gentleness and sympathy.

Purple roses were often associated with royalty back in the day, as they were rarer. They represent adoration and splendor, making them perfect for dates and birthdays alike.
