Orange, peach and coral roses are not as popular as the other colors but are equally as eye catching. An orange rose represents pride and fascination. It says, “Well done. I am so proud of you!” without saying a word. A coral rose represents desire, enthusiasm and excitement. Peach roses signify a few important things besides desire such as appreciation, anticipation and optimistic vigor for the future. When the roses are the palest of peach they represent modesty.
So what about meaning beyond color?
A Single Rose
A single rose expresses beauty in its simplistic form. When it is in full bloom a single rose says, “I adore you and I love you with all my heart.”
A Long-Stemmed Rose
A long-stemmed rose declares remembrance. “You are always in my thoughts.”
A Short-Stemmed Rose
A short-stemmed rose carries with it a sense of sweetness and girlhood. In a similar way, rosebuds symbolize youthful beauty and a sense of innocence.
Pastel Roses
Pastel or pale blends of roses signify friendship and sociability. A mixed color bouquet says every meaning of roses all in one because each individual flower conveys its own special significance.
Always remember that color matters, in flowers as in everything else in life. Next time someone gives you a beautiful bouquet of roses you will understand the hidden meaning behind each lovely petal. And let’s hope the giver understands them as well!
