Roses are generally thought of
as a romantic gesture. However, these beautiful flowers are so much more than
that, and with so many different varieties available these days, they can be a
thoughtful and meaningful present to suit just about every occasion you can
think of.
The question is, how do you
choose the perfect rose for a particular occasion, especially when each hue has a
different meaning, and there
are so many colors to choose from? To help you out, here’s a handy guide to
finding the perfect one for the message you want to send.
New Job
If you are celebrating new
beginnings, such as a new job, then green roses could be the perfect option for
you. Although a slightly unusual color, compared to more traditional types, green
roses symbolize life, growth, hope, and renewal. It’s a great choice for new
beginnings or bringing calm and balance to someone’s life.
To show your friend you care
Although they once symbolized
jealousy, yellow roses now represent friendship and joy. These sunny flowers
are perfect for sending to a close friend to brighten their day or let them
know you care about them, but avoid sending them to someone you’re interested
in romantically as it will indicate that you only think of them as a
friend!
To show your love
Amazingly there are over 30,000
types of roses around the world, from climbing plants to ornamental shrubs,
plus of course, the traditional Hybrid Tea varieties with their large flowers
and pointed buds. However, if you want to show your partner just how much you
love them, then why not gift them with Floribunda roses from Country Garden
Roses? Red roses are an
enduring symbol of true love and romance. If you want to tell someone you love
them, you can’t go wrong with this classic choice.
Thanking a loved one
Slightly gentler than the red
rose, pink roses can represent gratitude, elegance, and grace, making them a
versatile option that suits many different occasions, including romantic ones, but
they are especially good for thanking someone. If you are trying to thank
someone and the color pink or red doesn’t feel right, then peach could work. The
soft, understated hue of peach roses represents modesty and sincerity, meaning
they are perfect for sending as a thank you or for expressing sympathy.
For a wedding
White roses symbolize purity and
innocence. They also represent new beginnings, which makes them a great choice
for occasions such as weddings and christenings. However, if you want something
a little more out there, then the warm and vibrant orange rose stands for
enthusiasm and passion and can be great for congratulating someone or for
sending at the start of a romantic relationship, which makes it the perfect
gift for a wedding.
Making a statement
Whether it’s a declaration of
love or admiration, or to symbolize achieving the impossible, blue roses are a unique flower perfect for this
occasion. They have an air of mystery about them and are ideal for making a
statement.
If you want to make a slightly
subtler statement, however, such as sending flowers to someone you have a crush
on, then purple roses could be perfect. Often linked to royalty, lavender ones
have a separate meaning. They represent love at first sight, so they are
perfect for making a romantic gesture for the first time.
So next time you want to send flowers to someone, you can be sure to convey the exact meaning you want through
color alone!
I never knew there were that many different kinds and colors of roses.
