Meaning of roses. .

Red Roses
The red rose, whether a true red or a variation such as a deep burgundy red, has been linked since Victorian times with romantic love and passion. Red roses also signify respect and courage. Given as rosebuds to reflect the beauty of a young lover or in full bloom to say, "I love you still," the red rose's expression of love is perfect for Valentine's Day, a wedding anniversary -- or any romantic occasion.


Yellow Roses
In earlier times, yellow roses were given to convey jealousy. Today, the yellow rose is given to celebrate a new beginning, express an apology or sympathy, and to say, "remember me." Yellow roses are appropriate for marking the beginning of a new life together or for starting all over again.


Red and White Roses
Red and white roses given together symbolize unity or togetherness. Life can be made so much easier by sticking together! Give red and white roses when facing a challenging life event or to celebrate a strengthening relationship.


Pink Roses
Pink is a happy color, and it isn't just for girls. Pink roses are associated with friendship and marriage, and for either gender, they express warm feelings, happiness or pride. They are wonderful given as a birthday bouquet, anniversary arrangement, or to celebrate landing that coveted job!


Peach Roses
Peach roses express desire or anticipation. They are a good choice to send following a wonderful first date to say, "let's get together again." Sent to a business partner after the closing of a successful deal, they signify sincere appreciation and optimism for future ventures. Any occasion that calls for enthusiasm and sincerity calls for peach roses.


White Roses
A white rose symbolizes innocence and purity as well as youthfulness. Also known as the "flower of light," the white rose signifies spiritual love and anticipation of happiness. White roses are appropriate for a new baby's birth or christening, a ballerina's first recital, and of course, for a bridal bouquet!


Mixed Bouquet
When there are a multitude of emotions clamoring for expression, a colorful arrangement of roses will come to the rescue. A mixed-color bouquet conveys all of the meaning of each individual flower, no matter what the event. If uncertain what to say, this is the way to say it all!

Roses in our life. . .

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would
smell as sweet."William Shakespeare's
"Friends are the roses of life... pick them carefully and avoid the thorns!"
Why does a rose represent love.....when a rose always dies?"
The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart."
Love is like a rosebud, it can blossom fully, or it can die softly."
"Roses are the setting for my life,but it is people who are important."
Alain Meilland
Just remember, during the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, that there's a seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes a rose."
Leanne Rhimes
You can complain because a rose has thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have a rose."
"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome."
Anne Bradstreet, 1612 - 1672
If you stand in front of a mirror with 11 roses, you'll see 12 of the most beautiful things in the world.!
No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth…and no culture comparable to that of the garden…But though an old man, I am but a young gardener."
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
Success and failure, triumph and disaster. That is the rhythm of life in the garden. The Glory of the Garden - Patience Strong
"Although it appears to be a simple space for recreational or social purposes, the garden contains within itself the means to fulfill the profound need of the human soul to create a paradise on earth"
Helder Carita, author of "Portuguese Gardens".
