Roses - Of a Different Color - Defined

Red -  Sincere love, respect, courage, passion.  Send red roses to convey the message of your passionate love for that someone; saying "I love you".
Pink  - Grace and gentility, the rose of sweet thoughts.  Send deep pink roses to show your appreciation; gratitude; saying "Thank you". ****GREAT for MOM on Mother's Day!!  Send light pink roses to convey admiration or sympathy. 
Yellow -  In the Victorian times, yellow roses meant jealousy. But today, they signify friendship, joy, gladness and freedom, the promise of a new beginning.  Send yellow roses to brighten up someone's day; to congratulate your friends and loved ones during joyous occasions.
White -  Spiritual love, purity, the rose of confession, the bridal rose; "You are heavenly", "I am worthy of you".  Commonly used as traditional bridal bouquet during weddings to symbolize a happy love. You can also use them to convey the message of "You are heavenly, I miss you".
Lavender -  Love at first sight and enchantment.  Send lavender roses to convey the message of your "love at first sight" with that special someone. You can also send them if you would like to make a special impression.
Orange - Passionate desire, pure enthusiasm and fascination.  An excellent choice for a new relationship that you wish to pursue further. It can also be referring to a new business partnership.

Quote:
“The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose”.  ~  Kahlil Gibran

Helpful Hint:
For roses to last longer in a vase, fill half the vase with water and the other half with Mountain Dew.  They will last 3 to 4 weeks!

A Bit of Humor:
“I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.”  ~  Eleanor Roosevelt
