“A single rose can be my garden...a single friend, my world.” Leo F. Buscaglia

Well V-day is upon us once again.  For those of you with love, and in love - some meanings of the colours of Roses.


Red Roses: an unmistakable expression of love. Red Roses convey deep emotions - be it love, longing or desire. Red Roses can also be used to convey respect, admiration or devotion. A deep red rose can be used to convey heartfelt regret and sorrow.


White Roses: White is the color of purity, chastity and innocence. White flowers can be used to convey sympathy or humility. They also are indicative of spirituality.
Yellow Roses: evoke sunny feelings of joy, warmth and welcome. They are symbols of friendship and caring.

Pink Roses: are used to convey gentle emotions such as admiration, joy and gratitude.

Orange Roses: These fiery blooms signify passion and energy. Orange roses can be used to express intense desire, pride and fervor. They also convey a sense of fascination. These flowers rival only the red roses as messengers of passion in romance.

Lavender Roses: conveys enchantment. It also expresses "love at first sight" . Darker shades of lavender roses (close to purple) convey a sense of regal majesty and splendor. These roses are used to express fascination and adoration.

Blue Roses: A perfectly blue rose is still elusive like the perfectly black rose. Blue roses cannot be achieved naturally so they represent the unattainable or the mysterious. Blue roses therefore embody the desire for the unattainable. They say "I can't have you but I can't stop thinking about you"

Black Roses: Black is the color of death and farewell.  Sending black roses to someone indicates the death of the relationship.
