ALT-6 The Significance of different Rose Colors
The colours and aromas of different types of roses have their unique place in the history of human expression.
A Rose is the Queen of flowers, and symbolizes peace and war, love, as well as forgiveness. Valentine's Day is a time to give Roses to your loved one, but remember that they all have different meanings so choose with care.
REDThe red rose is the ultimate flower when it comes to expressing your love for someone. It ultimately proclaims 'I love you'. This is why red roses are so popular on Valentine's Day.A red rose also symbolises beauty and perfection. It has also been noted in some items of information that the red rose symbolises respect and courage, and deep red unconscious beauty.
A dozen roses has been symbolised as the ultimate declaration of love.
YELLOWThere seem to be different conflicting meanings for the yellow rose, but some common themes seem to be friendship, happiness and freedom. So yellow roses would be perfect for a close friend. I wouldn't recommend giving them to someone if your intentions are romantic and youwant a long lasting relationship.
PINKDark pink roses mean 'thankyou', so they would be the perfect gift for someone that has helped you in some way.Light pink roses indicate admiration, grace and gentility. So you could give these roses to someone that you admire, even if you aren't sure if you love them yet.Pink roses tend to symbolise a gentler meaning than their red counterparts.

A RED RED ROSE - a poem by Robert Burns
O my Luve's like a red, red roseThat's newly sprung in June;O my Luve's like the melodieThat's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,So deep in luve am I;And I will luve thee still, my dear,Till a' the seas gang dry:
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,And the rocks melt wi' the sun;I will luve thee still, my dear,While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve,And fare thee weel awhile!And I will come again, my Luve,Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.
