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.
