The Meaning of Roses

I remember Valentines Day in high school we were given the option to purchase a Rose from the school. The rose would be delivered to the person of your choice mid-day on Valentines. There were 3 colors you could choose from Red, Pink, and White. There was always a huge uproar about making sure you sent the right color to express your feelings. So this is for all of you who cannot remember what the colors mean:

Pink
Pink
In general, symbolizes grace and gentility. The pink rose carries the message "you're gentle and graceful". Deep pink says "thank you". Light pink conveys admiration and sympathy.

Peach
Peach
Conveys sociabilty and friendship, modesty, appreciation, admiration and sympathy.

Red
Red
No color can say "I love you" better than this Valentine favorite. It not only speaks of passion but also stands for noble values such as respect and courage.

White White
Has several special meanings - "you're heavenly," reverence and humility, innocence and purity, "I'm worthy of you," and secrecy and silence. In rose history, white roses are just as colorful as red ones.

Yellow Yellow
Expresses joy and gladness - the best gift for new mothers, newlyweds and graduates. Yellow roses are also a "not-too-obvious" reminder for the busy husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend.

Orange
Orange
Denotes enthusiasm and desire. Perfect for letting people know that you want to get to know them better.

Hopefully this can be a quick guide to assist anyone who has questions. The best way to say I love you is a dozen red roses, they can also say "IM SORRY!!!
