| ~* THE MEANING OF ROSES *~ So: through it's the classic floral fallback position, selecting a dozen roses is getting a lot more interesting. If you don't know how to crack the secret code of a rose meaning, you're missing half the fun and if the person who receives the flowers you chose at random does know what their color and presentation are meant to signify, you could be delivering more (or less) than you bargained for. To make sure you don't inadvertently buy a bouquet of badly communicated feelings, I offer this guide to the thorny issue of a rose meanings: Every romantic traditionalist knows that red roses say " I Love You" What's less well known is that they also can signify respect and courage.And with reds, a full bouquet is not always necessary to express your feelings. A single red stem packs plenty of dramatic power; if it's a rosebud, it means new love, and if it's un full bloom, it means your love is, too. Not quite at the "in love stage", but looking to make a striking statement? Go off the beaten botanical path with coral roses, which communicate desire or enthusiasm. Or consider orange roses, which deliver a muted variation on the corals' passionate theme. They convey fascination, but in a somewhat more reserved fashion. Coming full circle back to romance, if you're seriously smitten but not yet ready for a BLOOD-RED bouquet, choose lavender roses. They signify feelings of love at first sight of enchantment And not surprisingly, sweetheart roses are menat to live up to their self-explanatory name. Messages can be conveyed through the way in which the roses are presented, too.The combination of red and white roses communicates unity. Mix red and yellow ad you're expressing a feeling of togetherness. Two roses tied with a ribbon signify engagement. Of course, you can give roses to someone you love as the person with whom you're on love. If you're looking for an affectionate but non-romantic statement, consider your options among the stems: White roses are representation of innocence and purity, and they can even be messengers of gentle rejection: White rosebuds say the recipient is "too young to love" (if such a thing is possible). The meaning of pink roses depends on their deoth of color. Deep, vibrant pinks are meant to convey gratitude and appreciation; paler pastel tones are used to communicate admiration or sympathy. Yellow roses communicate eternal friendship and also can serve to communicate a sense of joy or freedom Generally, roses or paler hue represent friendship There. Now your're armed with the knowledge you need to choose the right roses (and the right messages) for the women in your life Love, Angelique' |
