| Rose Symbolism |
| Roses have always interested me, being as they are my namesake. My favorite varietal is called Royal Highness, in case anyone is interested: it's mostly white with a pink blush. The symbolism of rose colours, therefore, has interested me as well, and if such is the case for anyone else, here is a quick start to researching that end. This is by no means a complete list, and I can hardly verify its accuracy, being as I stole these from other far more learned scholars of such matter (and thanks very much to them, by the way). In any case, here is a work in progress, a list if the symbolism of the varietals of roses, as compiled by me thus far. |
| Red: Romantic love, respect, courage Deep Pink: Gratitude, appreciation Light Pink: Admiration, sympathy, grace White: Reverence, humility, innocence, secrecy, I am worthy of you Yellow: Joy, friendship, jealousy Orange: Enthusiasm, fascination Coral: Desire Lavender: Enchantment, love at first sight Burgundy: Unconscious beauty Peach: Sweetness, gratitude |
