You may have sent roses to your significant or received some from that special someone and if you know your flowers than you know what they meant behind the large batch they sent you. However, what if you don’t know and you end up sending flowers that convey the wrong message.

For example, a co-worker notices your special someone has received a batch of pink roses and says, “Oh your friend got those for you. Wow those are so nice!” Meanwhile, she doesn’t know that the “friend,” being you, just proposed to her days ago. Now why would you send your fiancé friendship roses? Well, how would you know unless you read about the color meaning of roses? Nowadays women send roses to their partners and if they aren’t careful, they could send the wrong meaning too. So the next couple’s holiday whether anniversary, Sweetest Day, or Valentine’s Day, be sure you don’t make any mistakes expressing how you feel.

When someone buys or gives another a red rose. He or she is expressing love and romance; however, when the roses are bought with different colors they can take on different meanings. For instance, red and white roses together symbolize unity. This bouquet may be great to reassure someone who may be insecure in a relationship.

Pink and red roses together symbolize passion and romance. You would most likely get these if you either want to have sex with someone or already did, but want to reinforce that the next time you see one another there will be a repeat performance!

Red and yellow roses together symbolize happiness and celebration. A bouquet of yellow roses with a single red rose tells someone you would like to be more than just friends. You may consider this bouquet if you are hoping to do more than just hand hold and kiss on your next date. Be sure the person you are giving the roses to knows something about the color meaning of roses. Never assume because you sent your partner this particular rose bouquet they know what you mean by it. Be a little more direct in your card. Say something like, “I hope that the next time we see one another we will explore places that we have never seen before…” Okay, a little bit corny, but the receiver will not have to guess about what you have in mind. If they ask you “what did you mean by that card you sent or what do these roses mean,” don’t assume the worse, your partner is most likely making sure he or she got your message loud and clear!

Yellow and white roses together represent harmony. When you are trying to make peace with someone, you are making a good move selecting this bunch! But not good, if the woman or man isn’t use to receiving roses from you, better stick to something more traditional. After you have been together for awhile then you might want to slip him or her a surprise or two.

Pastel or pale roses together represent friendship and a desire to get to know you like at a business function. Very good color selection to decorate a room, but I wouldn’t recommend getting another woman or man any kind of rose if you are already in a relationship. People who are unfamiliar with color meanings tend to assume any rose will mean love.

The pink rose is often given to those whom you admire. So if you aren’t serious with anyone, you might want to send a pink rose.

The yellow rose means joy and friendship similar to some of the other roses mentioned. Bosses, administrative assistants even staff who assist patients, customers and children typically get these when someone is grateful for their service.

White roses are associated with marriages and new beginnings. If you ever attended a wedding or a funeral you will see a lot of these flowers decorating the room. You will also see the white rose when someone is showing another honor, reverence, or remembrance. Military officials, veterans or someone mourning a loss may carry this rose.

Orange roses are great for decorating a dull room. They mean passion and excitement. Use these to send whatever message you choose, just be clear when you prepare to write your attached card why are you are sending them.

Lavender roses symbolize enchantment usually these flowers show up in fairytale books and movies. They are used to decorate a room or are given to family and friends who love the color. The lavender rose has also been known to express feelings of love at first sight.

If you are seeking a keepsake book to give away filled with different variations of roses to go along with the flowers that you send, Floral Beauty on a Dead End Street just might make your date feel good, it is filled with thought-provoking poetry and breathtaking beauty.
