It is said that there is symbolism in the color of roses when one person gives them to another as a gift.
Here are some of the colors and what they mean:
The red rose is the universally symbolic of love and romance. It is the perfect way to say "I love you!"
A lavender rose suggests regal majesty and splendor. These might make the perfect accent in a bouquet for one who wins a beauty pageant or is named Homecoming Queen?
White roses signify purity, innocence, & sympathy. That's probably why they are common
components of weddings and funerals.
