~.~ The Rose ~.~

From time immemorial, beloveds have been compared to roses. If we juggle the letters of the word ROSE we get EROS, who is the God of Love. Rose has thus been the traditional choice of lovers around the world. The colour red is associated with strong emotions and below are listed sentiments expressed by different hues of rose:-

Lavender -- Enchantment and Uniqueness

Orange -- Fascination

Pink (Dark) -- Thankfulness, Friendship and Admiration

Red -- Love, Respect and Courage

Peach -- Modesty, Gratitude, Admiration and Sympathy

Pink (Pale) -- Grace, Joy and Happiness

Deep Red -- Beauty and Passion

White -- Innocence, Purity, Secrecy, Silence, Reverence, Humility and (according to some sources) True Love

Yellow -- Joy, Friendship, Jealousy, Hope and Freedom

Black -- Farewell

Red/White -- Unity or Engagement

Yellow/Orange -- Passionate Thoughts

Peach -- Modesty, Gratitude, Admiration and Sympathy

Pink (Pale) -- Grace, Joy and Happiness

Yellow/Red -- Congratulations

Rosebud -- Beauty, Youth and a Heart Innocent of Love

Red Rosebud -- Purity and Loveliness

White Rosebud -- Girlhood

One Dozen Red Roses -- "I Love You"

Single Red Rose in Full Bloom -- "I Love You"

Tea Roses -- "I'll Remember Always"

So now run to the flower shop before the festive, then you can get all you want easier ...for your dearest !!!

Ahhh...are you trying to give out hints to someone ;-)

I do like lavender coloured roses. Smell very strong though.

But all in all I'm not too keen on roses. Prefer big stylish arrangement of assorted flowers. ENOUGH HINT???? LOL

Very nice info.
