Rose Color Meanings – A Different Hue for Every Occasion
Of all the varieties of flowers roses carry the most meaning. Although people appreciate any variety they receive, pairing the color of the rose to the appropriate occasion adds an extra special sentiment. The most commonly known rose color meanings are for the red, pink, yellow, and white species. However, even colors that are rarer, such as lavender, coral, orange, and peach, can hold a special symbolism.
Of all of the rose color meanings, red is by far the most well-known. From early on, this flower has signified love. Today, it is still overwhelmingly popular to present a significant other with a dozen red roses on Valentine’s Day or for mothers day flowers, an anniversary, or a birthday. The deep color reflects the intense passion that one person feels for another. Its striking shade also represents unparalleled beauty and has been used to represent this notion in many literary works. The pink rose carries with it many similar connotations. Most likely due to its similar hue, these flowers are also used to symbolize love. However, just as the color is less bold, so is the feeling it conveys. More appropriately given to someone that you have great appreciation for but not necessarily romantic connections. Their uplifting color is the perfect way to express appreciation as a thank you.
Although red and pink roses tend to be more strongly associated with love, almost any color can appropriately deliver this message. However rose color meanings for shades outside of this family typically express different intentions. For example, the yellow rose tends to relay friendship. Their bright sunny color is often used to lift one’s spirits or communicate joy. They are also commonly given to newlyweds, new moms, and graduates. By contrast, white roses typically stand for innocence and purity.
For this reason, they are used at weddings. However, interestingly enough, they are also commonplace as funeral flowers at a funeral or memorial service. The reason for this is that they also signify reverence, honor, and spirituality. So, although they are used for very different applications, their meaning is still fairly similar.
