Roses and their colour meanings

While every flower has a wonderful story to tell, the rose stands alone in its abundant history and colour meaning. Used for hundreds of years to convey messages without words, roses have long been a symbol of confidentiality - the Latin expression sub rosa (literally "under the rose") means something told in secret.

Below are the meanings of the Rose colours:

* Red Roses - love, passion and romance.

* Pink Roses - tenderness, grace, femininity, elegance and refinement.

* White Roses - humility, purity and innocence.

* Yellow Roses - friendship, joy and caring.

* Orange Roses - fascination, passion and desire.
