With roses and flowers there are no limitations as to what can be expressed. The colors and aromas of the different types of roses all have their unique place the history of human expression. Knowing the specific meaning of a rose only enhances the experience of sending and receiving rose and flower bouquets.

Words are not enough...

Some people express what they feel through words. They simply tell the person what they feel or wanted to say. But I'm not like that. I feel that words are not enough to express how much I feel for the person either a friend, family or my partner. I strongly believe in "Actions Speaks louder than Words". Aside from giving a small note, letter or sending SMS(text message) to the person, I also send or bring Roses not only occasionally. Yes, a Rose or bunch of Roses can do that talking for you. Especially if you are the one who chose the arrangement of the roses or you are the one who chose a stalk of a Rose to be given to the person that you love or adore to tell how much that person mean to you.

To better understand the Rose or it's meaning, here are the language of Roses:

Red roses have always meant love-deep, passionate, ever lasting love. White roses symbolize purity and brightness

Pink roses have several messages, depending on the shade. Deep pink roses symbolize gratitude and respect, while light pink roses show sympathy. Yellow roses on the other hand symbolize friendship and caring, while Orange roses symbolize new beginnings,

The more exotic rose colors also have meanings. For example, Green roses represent fertility while Blue roses are symbol of mystery and intrigue. Purple roses signify enchantment and love at first sight. Black roses, not surprisingly, represent death, and perhaps more surprisingly, new beginnings.

It's not just the colors of roses that speak volumes; it's also the way they are presented.If you receive a bouquet of unopened roses, it is a symbol of youth and innocent love. If they are all white, someone is telling you they love you but you are too young. A mix of red and pink buds means you are youthful and beautiful. If you receive a fully opened rose with two rosebuds, someone has a secret! If you receive a red rose and several yellow roses, you are being invited to join in the fun! A crown of roses symbolizes virtue and is often used at weddings as such, especially in the Greek Orthodox religion. Even the leaves of a rose have a message. They symbolize hope and optimism.

For me, it is nice to give roses instead of receiving one... It feels great too!
