Roses Are Red and Pink and Lavender – and Even Orange
Friday, January 29th, 2010 | Shopping
Sending red roses on Valentine’s Day says “I love you,” but do you know the meaning of other popular colors? The pink rose symbolizes happiness, and sending a bouquet will show your significant other just how much joy the relationship brings you. Lavender roses tell someone that you are falling in love, while the orange rose represents that first blush of desire. Combinations of colors also have meaning: white and red roses together stand for unity in a relationship. No matter what message you are trying to send this Valentine’s Day, 1800flowers.com will allow you to send flowers with confidence. Start by deciding which color best represents your relationship.
