Nothing says romance like the rose. The rose carries meaning in almost every culture and each color has its own meaning. A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers are large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
So what do the colors mean? Here is a quick reference to help!
Red - Love, Beauty, Courage and Respect, Romantic Love
White - Purity, Innocence, Humility
Pink - Appreciation, Grace, Perfect Hapiness
Yellow - Joy, Gladness, Friendship
Orange - Desire, Enthusiasm
Lavender - Love at First Sight
