Did you know that each rose color symbolizes a type of love? For example, red roses symbolize romantic love. Every time we give someone roses of a particular color we are sending a special love message. Of course, whether this person realizes or accepts the message depends on whether he or she is aware of the meaning of the rose color. The following is a list of rose colors and their meanings. By the way, the red roses in the picture were from my garden. Are they gorgeous or what?

Red Rose: romantic/impassioned love, “I love you”.
Yellow Rose: friendship, “I care”
White Rose: eternal/fated love, “Love is forever” or “Till death do us part”
Pink Rose: appreciation/admiration, “Thank you!”
Orange Rose: unrequited love/desire, “Your admirer”
Lavender Rose: love at first sight, “You have captured my heart!”
The colors of roses aren’t quite like any color that can be replicated in ink. They have a special quality that’s all their own and can’t be copied.
I always hear different meanings for rose colors, though. I’ve hear that yellow roses mean romantic love and not red ones. I never know which version of rose-color-meanings to listen to!
I once received one lavender rose.
I like your interpretation!
This is really interesting. I guess I should’ve invested in orange roses (which I’ve never seen) for my teen years!

I knew some of these, but not all. I once had a very romantic boyfriend whom I had forbidden to use the “L” word in regard to our relationship. The next time he sent me roses, they were a gorgeous hybrid that was almost entirely yellow (friendship) but with deep red edges (just a touch of the romantic, unspoken “L,” as he explained later). Most romantic thing a guy has ever done for me.
Wow..these are divine!
I love white roses, which are never just white. I may be wrong but I think there is such a thing as black roses. Do you know?
Thank you for sharing your garden.
I love flowers. Roses and sunflowers specially.
My mother has many roses in her backyard.
You’re lucky to have them!
