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.
