A Rose is A Rose....

There are many different variations of what each color of rose symbolizes. Some of the more common associations are listed below. You may find other lists that suggest different meanings for each color. This is because there is no "Definitive" list for rose color meanings. This guide is merely to suggest appropriate colors for certain occasions/expressions.

Red Roses- Love, Respect, Courage

Yellow Roses- Joy, Gladness, Freedom, Friendship

Pink/Peach Roses- Gratitude, Admiration, Sympathy

White Roses- Reverence, Purity, Innocence, Secrecy

Coral/Orange Roses- Fascination, Enthusiasm, Desire

Lavender Roses- Enchantment

Red and White Roses- Unity

Red, Pink & White Roses- Trinity

More importantly, roses, or any other flowers for that matter, also hold the meaning we give them and the feeling with which they are given. That is what makes them special. So with your sentiment, any flowers will send the message that you are thinking of the recipient regardless of their color. So don't feel confined to one particular color.
