The many Colors of the Rose:

Send the right color, send the right message

Knowing what roses’ colors mean is a very important thing as each color conveys a very different message. Send the right rose, and you send the right message. For example, everyone knows when the color of a rose is red, a message of love is in the air. But imagine the reactions if you were to send red roses to a funeral, or give them as a gift to your boss.

And red is just the beginning. There’s an incredibly wide spectrum of rose colors, and each has a unique and oftentimes powerful meaning. So before you send America’s favorite flower to anyone, ensure you pick the right colors. Roses are always appreciated, but even more so when the meaning they convey fits the occasion.

Rose Colors: The Definitive Reference Guide

This rose’s color symbolizes one thing above all else–love. For hundreds of years people have chosen one color of roses above all others to convey their most heartfelt feelings (experts believe that the red rose first became a symbol of love around 1800). When the message you want to send is “I love you,” it’s always red roses. So for occasions like Valentine’s Day and a wedding anniversary, there is simply no other option.

If you’re looking for a flower that’s the right fit for a bride at her wedding, the right rose colors are white. The same reason the bride wears white is the same reason the roses are white. This flower symbolizes purity above all else. Keeping with this, white is also the appropriate color rose for a confirmation or any occasion celebrating a new beginning.

Yellow is perhaps the color rose with the most diverse history of meanings. Over the centuries, they have been given to convey everything from “welcome home” to jealousy, of all things. Today, however, rose colors in any and all shades of yellow embody friendship more than anything else. Best friends, new friends, old friends–they will all understand your message of everlasting friendship when you send yellow roses.

If you’re fired up about something or someone, orange color roses will let them know. Enthusiasm and desire are the primary meanings of orange roses. And while colors like red and white may symbolize everlasting love and pure love, respectively, it’s orange that says burning love. However, as with most rose colors, there are other occasions where orange is the right fit; Halloween, for example, and to express feelings of admiration or pride in another.

Purple, or lavender, color roses are just right for love at first sight. Purple has long been associated with passion, luxury, and even magic, which makes this rose’s color just right for expressing all the enchantment that only new love delivers. Additionally, purple represents royalty, so if you want to make someone feel like a queen, there may be no better rose.

While yellow may be the color rose with the most diverse history of meanings–though today, they primarily mean friendship–it’s playful pink roses that have the most diverse meanings today. Admiration, appreciation, joy, thanks–roses in any shades of pink say it all. There is a happiness conveyed by pink rose colors that is simply undeniable and always appropriate.

While appearing only subtly different from orange roses, peach color roses send an entirely different meaning. Typically, peach colored roses are sent to communicate sincerity and gratitude. They’re ideal for business gifts or as gifts for Teacher’s Day, for example.

Remember: when you send roses, you’re not just sending flowers. You’re sending a message, and the rose color your choose can greatly and easily impact your message. We hope our guide will help you send the exact message you want your flowers to convey.
