The language of roses...

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, you may be wondering what to give that special someone. There is nothing more classic than the gift of roses on Febuary
14th. But what color? I found this chart to help you decide...

Red - True love
Blue - Mystery, attaining the impossible
White - Eternal Love, Silence or innocence, wistfulness, virtue, purity, secrecy, reverence and humility
Black - Death, hatred, farewell, rejuvenation or rebirth
Yellow - Friendship, or dying love (or platonic love) or jealousy, infidelity, or apology
Pink - Grace
Dark pink - Gratitude
Light pink - Desire, passion, joy of life, youth, energy
Burgundy - unconscious Beauty
Coral or orange - Desire, passion
Lavender (violet) - Love at first sight
red and white together - Unity
red and yellow together - Joy, happiness, and excitement
