Valentine's Roses...

Valentine's Day and roses go hand in hand. We all know that red roses mean love...but do you know what the other colors mean? I found this information on about.com:

•Red means romantic love (the "Valentine roses," par excellence).


•Purple, coral and orange challenge red as the color for Valentine roses. The rose color meanings for these 3 are as follows:

•The specific purpose of purple roses is to signify that the giver has fallen in love with the recipient at first sight.

•Meanwhile, coral signals desire.

•And orange roses, along with apricot, connote enthusiasm.



•The meaning of yellow roses is joy and friendship.


•We express our gratitude and appreciation with pink roses....


•While feelings of admiration and sympathy find words with roses that are light pink in color.


•Peach is more ambiguous, as it can signify either sympathy or gratitude.


•Their purity naturally enough lends to white roses the meaning of reverence and humility.
