When you think of a rose, the first color that might come to mind is red. In fact, the word “rose” comes from the Latin word “rosa”, which means red. Red roses might be the most common color, but there are so many others that there is an entire language of meaning that can be found in their shades.

Here are some colors and their meanings:

Red - Love, Romance, Beauty, Passion, I love you; Desire, Courage; Respect
Red (Dark or Burgundy) - Unconscious beauty
Red -Withered - I would rather die, Our love is over
White - Purity, Youth, Pure Love, Virginal, Innocence and purity, I am worthy of you, You're heavenly
Pink - Happiness, Appreciation, Thankfulness, Grace, Gentle Love, Please believe me
Dark Pink - Gratitude, Thank You
Yellow - Joy, Gladness, Friendship, Delight, Platonic Love, Jealousy, Freedom
Yellow with Red Tip - Falling in Love
Orange - Fascination, Desire, Passion, Enthusiasm
Red and White - Two colors; Passionate Purity, Unity
Peach - Sincerity, Gratitude, Appreciation, Modesty, Admiration, Sympathy
Lavender - Love at first sight, Enchantment
Black - Death, Farewell
Blue - Impossible, Unattainable, Mystery
Red Rosebud - Symbol of Purity and Loveliness

Thornless Rose - "Love at First Sight"
Single Rose - Simplicity
Two Roses - An engagement or coming marriage
Leaves - Symbol of hope
Roses-Sent every month - Beauty ever new

There are no true black or blue roses, as the pigment structures in the rose do not permit these colors to be bred. There are some very dark purple roses, which are used in place of black roses. There are also some light lavender roses that appear to be blue, but have a bit of pink in them. Traditionally, blue roses are usually dyed white roses.

No matter what you want to say with your flowers, a bouquet of roses can convey your feelings. Try giving a bunch of different colors to show exactly what you want to say, and you can even give the recipient a copy of the flowers' meanings so that they too can read the language of flowers. No matter how many roses you choose to give, they are sure to be a welcome gift!
