Red Roses - Big, bold, beautiful red roses represent the intense passions flowing directly from your heart. Love coming straight from the heart is passionate and strong. Red roses represent true love’s endurance. While red has become the color of Valentine’s Day, red roses transcend simple, commercial messages. Instead, red roses communicate love full of respect and possibility. So whether you are sending roses to a new love or reminding a long-time partner of your passion, red roses are love’s dramatic messenger.

White Roses - The elegant white rose represents purity, innocence, and humility. The white rose communicates a secret promise between the giver and the recipient. White roses are often used at weddings to symbolize love’s fidelity and promise. The delicate white rose creates a startling bouquet. A bouquet of fresh white roses is a wonderful combination of innocence and elegance. It makes a clear promise to care, nurture, and adore. The white rose is a promise that lives together will be full of equality and joy.

Yellow Roses - The yellow rose represents filial love, the love of friendship. Yellow roses represent the love between siblings and very close friends. The yellow rose is not as sensual and romantic as other roses; instead its sunshine radiance speaks toward the joy resulting in shared experiences and the promise of further adventures. Yellow roses send a clear message of respect and are make great gifts for childhood friends and respected coworkers alike. Yellow roses illuminate the air around them and bring joy and optimism to anywhere they are placed.

  Pink Roses - Beautiful and subtle pink roses represent elegance. Traditionally, pink roses have represented femininity and refinement. However, more and more men are viewing pink roses as a symbolic invitation relish their own sensitivity. Graceful pink rose bouquets also contain a message of gratitude and appreciation. When someone acts with kindness, show your thanks with a beautiful pink rose arrangement. It will communicate gratitude, sensitivity, and admiration.

Orange Roses - Rich, creamy, vibrant orange roses appear almost supernatural with their unexpected luminescence. It is no surprise that these gorgeous roses symbolize attraction and desire. While red roses communicate enduring passion, orange roses combine playfulness with intensity to send a flirty message of attraction. Offbeat, unexpected, and delightful, orange roses bring all the excitement and adventure of a warm and inviting summer day.

Purple Roses - Purple roses have a wonderful ethereal quality to them which sends the clear message of love at first sight. Purple roses have a reputation for being magical, from originating in another world altogether. This seems like a perfect description for how it feels to experience love at first sight. Purple roses reveal creativity, openness, and infinite possibility.

  Peach Roses - Delicate and beautiful peach roses send a message of sensitivity. Often, peach roses are used to extend sympathy. The soft, pastel color of peach roses is comforting and soothing.

Red and White Rose Arrangements - Beautiful rose arrangements made of a combination of white roses and red roses sends the powerful message of unity and harmony. An even distribution of red roses and white roses in a bouquet shows the balance between two people, between intense passion and purity, and between the intensity of the moment and hope for the future.

Red and Yellow Rose Arrangements - A rose arrangement featuring both red roses and yellow roses sends the symbolic message of happiness and excitement. Yellow roses have the symbolic meaning of friendship while red roses express the heart’s deep passions. Combining these two beautiful and elegant flowers is a glorious way to tell your lover that they are also your best friend.

  Pleasantville floral perfection, Pom! That rose is gorgeous, and shot from just the right angle. Love the light through the window. Great job on the info as much as the flower.
P.S. I'm with you on the purple roses ~ the Sterling rose sounds like it's worth every penny!

  Thanks so much Steve, Brother John and Mare!

What I like about this one is the one petal that is so crystal clear that it makes the rest of the rose look good!!!

Mare, be sure and smell a Sterling in a florist sometime. If it is a true one it will have an aroma like you have never enjoyed before! Rich and sweet!

Thanks for the wonderful comments and Steve, thanks for the FAV! :D
