A rose bouquet is a popular Valentine's Day Choice.
However, when choosing a rose bouquet as a gift it is important to consider what the different colors represent.
Red Roses are traditional, to say the very least.
It is probably the only flower with which you can get away with giving just one rose.
Red roses represent passion and romantic love.
If you want to make a strong statement these should be your choice.
Purple Roses are representative of love at first sight, or enchantment.
They can also represent opulence and royalty, though they usually are deeper in color when representing this.
The Yellow Rose represents freedom and is especially popular in Texas.
They also are indicative of good cheer and as such are useful for cheering people up.
Dark and Vibrant Pink Roses are the flowers that show gratitude, fun, and happiness.
Light pink roses are more calming and gentle. They can be used for conveying sympathy.
White Roses are pure and, as such, will display truth and innocence.
They are most often used as a wedding flower.
Of course, there are many other floral choices such as tulips or a mixed bouquet of hand-picked flowers.

I ask my husband not to get me anything for Valentine’s Day. I feel like the day is mainly a Marketing tactic.
Yes, I can understand that feeling.
I had no idea different colours have different meanings. My wife has never liked roses and lilys are her favourite flower. With regards to Valentines Day, we’ve never made a big thing of it. We prefer to surprise each other spontaneously although that doesn’t happen much! This has given me the impetus to do something nice tomorrow.
A random surprise is a wonderful idea and very special.
I love white roses, at this point in winter I will take flowers of any sort.
Yes, it has been some time since you have seen flowers.
Ah .. Valentines day was sweet. Has to be one of my favorite holidays… love roses.. Hope you had a loving day my friend
Thank you so much!
Hi Dr. Elise,
I didn’t have an idea of what each of those colors represent until now that I read your post.
I don’t have preference for flower as a gift. I value spending quality time with my loved ones over flower.
Thanks for this highly educative post.
Taiwo.
Quality time is always the best.
nice post. I didn’t know that there is a signification to every color of flowers
Indeed there is. It is quite interesting to learn about it.
Pink roses are my absolute favourite, I don’t know what it is but they make me go all gooey ☺️
I hope that everyone in your life knows that. Feeling gooey is pretty awesome.
In England the yellow rose is a symbol of friendship – which is why they are often used in funeral floral arrangements.
Enjoy the journey!
That is quite interesting.
I got a dozen red last week for my birthday and another of the same today!
I grew up in Tyler, Texas, informally known as the Rose Capital of the US. Vendors would stand on the corner with a dozen roses for a dollar.
OMG!!! I have never heard of roses being so inexpensive. You must have gotten spoiled by that.
The roses your husband got you are beautiful! Love the little white flowers mixed in!
Aren’t those adorable? He came up with that idea… I love it.
I prefer getting a rose plant instead of bouquets. This way it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Pinning this. Thank you.
You are very welcome.
Oh I love that you shared the meaning of all of the colours! That’s so cool . I adore flowers and plants any time of year. I prefer potted so I can keep them forever, but gifts like roses are always lovely too! Happy valentines day ♡
Potted flowers are fun too. I agree.
Aww I never knew what the color of each flower represented this is good to know, i’ll share with my husband! nice read!
It is fun to learn. Thank you.
It’s interesting to learn what each of these colors of roses mean. I like getting flowers if money is available, but if it’s not, then just spending time together works for me.
Both are wonderful options. 🙂
As a florist I’m a big advocate for sending roses on Valentine’s Day. I love receiving flowers as a gift too. Flowers in general make people happy. Red roses “Forever Young” is my favorite on Valentine’s Day. Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
I know that my roses made me feel extra special. Happy Valentine’s Day to you too.
