Roses and Their Different Meanings
When you think of roses, the first thing you probably think of is love and romance. But did you know each rose color has a different meaning? Let's dive into what some of the rose colors mean, so next time you can order your flowers according to meaning!
Starting with the most popular rose color, Red. The classic red rose is the ultimate symbol of romance. It speaks of love, desire, and admiration — perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or anytime you want to say “I love you.” We recommend ordering red roses on a special wedding anniversary or if you are popping the big question to your significant other!
Another popular rose color is white. White roses represent purity, innocence, and grace. They’re often used in weddings and symbolize new beginnings, unity, and everlasting love. They’re also a thoughtful choice for sympathy arrangements, offering peace and remembrance.
In our arrangements at Boutique Blooms, you will also find a lot of pink and yellow roses. Pink roses come in many shades, each carrying a slightly different meaning. Light pink symbolizes grace and sweetness, while darker pinks express appreciation and admiration. On the other hand, Sunny and cheerful, yellow roses are all about happiness, warmth, and friendship. They are a lovely way to brighten someone’s day or celebrate an achievement.
In our popular arrangement "Just So Pretty" you will find orange roses while "Mauve Mix" features beautiful purple roses. Orange roses symbolize enthusiasm, excitement, and fascination. They’re perfect for new relationships, celebrations, or simply when you want to share positive energy. Rare and captivating, lavender roses are often associated with enchantment and love at first sight. They carry a touch of magic and are perfect for someone who’s truly one of a kind.
While a solid rose color creates a stunning arrangement on it's own, it is fun to mix colors to add layers of meaning — red and white for unity, pink and yellow for joy and friendship, or red and pink for romantic gratitude.
Every rose tells a story and choosing the right one turns your arrangement into a heartfelt message. Whether it’s a Petite Rose Bloom Box or a grand arrangement, the color you choose can express feelings words sometimes can’t.
