With Valentine’s Day around the corner, one staple gift a girl (or guy) can receive is a bouquet of roses. However, have you noticed there are different colours of roses to choose from? Each colour has a different meaning behind it. After all, you do not want to try to impress a girl with roses that symbolises friendship, do you? Here’s a little guide!
1. Red roses
A classic choice. Red roses symbolise love, so there’s no sweeter way to say “I love you” to your partner on V-day. Although it means love, avoid gifting this distinctive colour to new love interests as it also conveys deep romantic feelings. Your night might turn awkward very quickly!
2. Yellow roses
If you want to be different from others by surprising your significant other with yellow roses, think again. This warm and vibrant counterpart of red roses symbolises friendship. You would end up friendzoning someone you like on Valentine’s Day. Yikes!
3. Pink roses
Pink roses express gentle emotions such as admiration, joy and gratitude. They are perfect for courting and for the new kids on the relationship block. Aside from Valentine’s Day, a bouquet of pink roses also resonates how happy and thankful you are for a person.
4. White roses
A colour of purity, white roses symbolise new beginnings and remembrance. Due to this, they are the roses of choice for weddings as well as funerals. When given to a partner, it can also mean thinking of you!
5. Orange roses
Orange roses signify passion and energy like the blazing sun. With these roses, you can convey the message of taking the relationship or friendship to the next step. This is indeed a sophisticated way of getting the message across on Valentine’s Day.
There you have it! Whether you are the giver or receiver of roses this Valentine’s Day, you can now decipher the meaning beforehand!
