"That which we call a rose...": Understanding the symbolic colors of roses
Article Tools"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet",yes but not by any other color.
Ignorance of this aspect of choosing a bouquet can get you in trouble.
You know that old saying "No good deed goes unpunished " ?
Well look out brother,you could deliver the wrong message just by the colors you send your Valentine.
If you are madly in love ,don't send a yellow bouquet...you just said,
Let's be pals.Orange says Hey I'm proud of you and that's okay,but not when you wanted to say I'm in love with you Sweetheart.
There are lots more but if you are confused just remember these three ....
1.RED is the lovers' rose .
2.WHITE means love stronger than death .
3.A MIXED bouquet means you mean everything to me.
That last one seems the safest unless you are a little crunched for cash,
then just get her a single red rose .You can't go wrong with that .
