Roses for Valentine's Day

Ok, ladies: ‘fess up! Who among us wouldn’t admit to wanting flowers for Valentine’s Day? And you guys: who doesn’t want to be the man of the hour by delivering a bouquet of beautiful roses to your sweetheart? But did you know that your very color selection speaks volumes about your true emotions? It’s true. 1800flowers knows this and can supply you with the very roses for valentine’s that you desire.

Roses are the perfect flower to convey your feelings and the various colors have different meanings associated with them. Red, the most commonly given color, symbolizes love and passion. The different hues can slightly alter the meaning: true red is for lovers, fiery red signifies passion and cardinal red represents desire.

Pink roses signify poetic romance and elegance; they’re more light-hearted than red and can symbolize friendship and admiration. A mixture of pink and red, of course, expresses a romantic relationship.

Orange roses represent pride or amazement and would be appropriate for a graduation or promotion, while peach symbolizes pride for someone’s accomplishments.

White roses symbolize purity and are the bride’s roses; they are often called the “flower of light”. They represent unity, sincerity, loyalty and a love stronger than death. They can be mixed with red to emphasize the love within a relationship.

Purple roses are majestic and can mean eternal love; deep purple roses should be reserved for intimate relationships.

Now that you know the meaning behind the colors, let this information help guide you in your selection of Valentine’s Day roses. You can choose the appropriate color or colors to help you say exactly what’s on your mind!
