Giving roses on Valentine’s Day has become a popular tradition but you can make your gift more meaningful if you choose a color that conveys a specific message.
Each rose color has a different meaning, usually more than one. If you want to be sure that your loved one receives the message you intended, include it on the accompanying card.
Red Roses
Red roses convey a simple message: "I love you". This makes them the ultimate symbol of romantic love and the most popular choice on Valentine’s Day. Other meanings for red roses include desire, passion, courage, respect, beauty and sincerity. A red rosebud symbolizes purity and loveliness.
Coral Roses
Coral roses speak of desire and passion.
Lilac or Lavender Roses
Lilac roses reveal love at first sight or enchantment.
Orange Roses
Orange roses communicate desire, enthusiasm and fascination. They make an excellent choice for a new relationship that you wish to pursue further.
Peach Roses
Peach roses express gratitude, appreciation, admiration or sympathy. They can also convey sociability and friendship and send the message "Let's get together". A pale peach rose symbolizes modesty.
Pink Roses
In general, pink roses symbolize grace, gentility and happiness and express appreciation and gratitude.

Yellow Roses
Yellow roses symbolize friendship and freedom, so are not specifically romantic roses. They convey congratulations, joy, gladness and delight. But they also promise a new beginning, say "Welcome back" and "Remember me", and can convey jealousy and caring. Yellow roses with red tips convey friendship and falling in love.
