Roses can mark a variety of occasions--from a wedding to a funeral and anything in between. Be sure to choose the appropriate color roses for the situation.

Red

The ubiquitous red rose expresses love; a single red rose is the most common way to say, "I love you."

White

White roses signify innocence, which is why they are a common choice for bridal bouquets.

Yellow

To express friendship and joy, choose a bouquet of yellow roses. Yellow roses with red tips, however, mean friendship and falling in love.

Peach

Peach roses can be a way of expressing appreciation or gratitude; pale peach means modesty.

Pink

Pink roses
If you want to convey appreciation, admiration or thanks, send or give pink roses. Light pink roses can be used to express sympathy, grace or gladness; dark pink signify appreciation or gratitude.
