C’mon ladies, you know the feeling you get when a significant other presents you with a bouquet. Roses are always well-received; no one can turn them down. Have you ever thought about what they mean? That’s right. Roses have their own language which we can easily learn. You must follow the color code, especially if you are a male. Make sure you express to your hunny the message you want, not the one you don’t.
The Color Code
Every color of a rose, whether it is red or peach, has a different meaning. Follow this guide to choose the right one for the right occasion.
White: These roses are almost as popular as the red ones. They mainly represent innocence, as well as loyalty, purity, and sincerity.
Pink: These roses represent gentility, admiration, compassion, poetic romance, and grace. Gentle thoughts are the outcome of using such roses. Although they don’t say: “I love you”, it is on its way-the next step up is the red rose.
Orange: This color thoroughly communicates desire and enthusiasm. They should be given if you want someone to know that you are interested in getting to know them much better.
Peach: These roses symbolize great appreciation, modesty, anticipation, sympathy, and optimism for the future. They are great to use if someone is not feeling well. It says: “Get better, I believe in you”.
Yellow: These are an excellent gift for graduates, newlyweds, or new mothers. If your goal is romance, stay away from this color. It indicates friendship and symbolizes fun, freedom, and joy.
Red: This color symbolizes beauty, passion, and romance. They are by no doubt the most popular roses, who could resist the fiery look they emit? They are perfect to say: “I love you”.
Blue: These roses symbolize miracles, new opportunities, and fantasies. If someone has finally found a job after searching for countless months, be sure to present them with these.
Purple: This color of rose represents majesty, glory, advancement, and caution. There are the most appropriate for relationships that want to progress slowly and carefully.
Black: These roses are the color of death. They express an enormous change in the future, specifically the near future. This can be the death of certain ideas and feelings. Black roses are the best for saying: “it’s over”.
Mixed: A bunch of different colored roses say: “You’re everything to me”. All the different colors represent the individual meaning of each rose.
The Next Step: Scents
Roses will always be tested for their fragrance; have you ever seen a receiver not inhale the scent deeply? There are scents which are connected to the color of each rose.
The roses which have the strongest fragrance are the solid colored ones such as yellow, pink, red, and white.
The roses which have the second strongest fragrance are orange and peach. These are great to use if you want a bouquet to both look and smell interesting.
There are certain roses which look very exotic; they are called hybrid. Unfortunately, they forfeit the fragrance for the exotic looks. They are different sizes, have unusual colors such as blue and black, and can have curled petals. They don’t offer pleasure in terms of fragrance, but the exotic looks may compensate for that.
If you decide to spray perfume on roses to make them smell better, be cautious. People notice the true smell of a rose compared to one with modifications.
Some Other Important Details
We have already gone through important details such as the color and scent. However, there are some more important details that should not be left out.
Allergies – Always be thoughtful to those with allergies; it could be a bad experience if you give them heavily scented roses! Consider giving them silk roses; this will show thoughtfulness and will be greatly appreciated.
Leaves – These represent hope; it is wise to leave them on.
Thorns – Make sure to always remove these; it tells the receiver that you care about them deeply enough to make sure that they don’t get hurt.
