The Meanings Behind the Colours
Red Roses
As most people may know, the traditional bouquet of red roses signifies love. But nowadays, depending on who you ask, red roses can be described as anything from a classic bouquet to original and boring. One thing is certain, however; red roses remain the most popular of them all. High-Quality Roses for all occasions from the florist near me.
Yellow Roses
Yellow roses were once used to represent jealousy, but somewhere along the lines, its representation changed to mean joy and friendship. Yellow roses with red tips represent friendship blossoming into love.
White Roses
White roses are often known as the bridal flower, but the real meaning of white roses is purity, loyalty, and innocence.
Orange and Coral Roses
Orange and Coral roses express desire and fascination. Be sure not to send the wrong message with this bold and stunning bouquet of fresh roses.
Pink Roses
Pink roses have different meanings depending on the shade. The lighter shades express fondness and sympathy, whereas the dark shades are meant to express feelings of gratitude and appreciation.
Purple and Blue Roses
Purple roses indicate enchantment and love at first sight. On the other hand, blue roses symbolize fantasy and the unattainable. Blue roses are not easy to find in South Africa; most available are dyed blue.
Black Roses
The black rose is known to represent death. They are not natural but instead dyed. Hint: Itâs pretty safe to say that your sweetie wouldn't want your mum to receive this bouquet (unless they have mentioned liking black flowers).
Mixing Colours and Their Meanings
When different coloured roses are mixed, some of their meanings change. A mix of white and red roses represents unity, whereas a mix of yellow and red roses symbolises happiness. White and yellow roses represent harmony.
A lovely mix of all coloured roses says, "You mean everything to the world to me," due to the broad mix of colours and their meanings. High-Quality Roses for all occasions are the best delivered.
Single-Stemmed and Intertwined Roses
A single-stemmed rose says "I Love You," and two roses intertwined represent an engagement. Any other single rose means "Thank You."
Whichever bouquet you send, it becomes much more special when the appropriate bouquet ends. You probably think, "What are the chances that the person receiving the bouquet even knows what the colours mean?" Chances are they don't. That would be the perfect opportunity to tell them you thought of them enough to send the "perfect" arrangement of gifts by researching the colours first. Just think, a gift with thought behind it weighs more on the heart!
You have learned something new even if you don't consider the information. Order High-Quality rose bushes and roses for sale on our website.
The Importance of Research Before Sending Flowers
Flowers are a way to let someone know you care, so it is no wonder that sending flowers is such a popular way to commemorate events, from the birth of a new baby to Valentineâs Day. Flowers are also the top choice for letting someone know youâre sorry. However, not all bouquets are as nice as the rest. Before you send someone flowers, you may want to do some research.
Before you do anything else, take some time to think about the type of flowers that this person enjoys. While most people love red roses, a few prefer colourful wildflower bouquets or exuberant sunflowers.
Selecting the Right Florist
Have a look at our beautiful range of rose bouquets and arrangements. Some of our favourite High-Quality Roses for all occasions arrangements and beautiful rose bouquets include:
After you choose the flowers you want, it is time to send them to that special someone, right? While you may be ordering from a reputable florist, that florist may not be the person choosing, arranging, and delivering the flowers. Instead, when flowers are being delivered to someone some distance away, the florist passes the task of filling the order onto a local florist. Ask who will be doing the actual delivery and find out if that florist has a good reputation.
Following Up
Once you send the flowers to the recipient, donât be afraid to follow up. A disappointing bouquet is often delivered, but the person who received it may be afraid to offend the giver, so he doesnât say anything. If you mention that you want to be sure the arrangement looks fresh and contains the proper number of flowers, the recipient will probably be much more forthcoming about the condition of the bouquet. If there is a problem, follow up with the florist where you placed your order and the florist who filled it. After all, the person getting your bouquet should get what you paid for.
Finally, you may want to consider sending a very different type of flower, a living plant. This way, your gift of plants will continue to remind that lucky someone of the event the flowers were sent to commemorate long after a fresh bouquet would be a distant memory. If you send flowers to someone with a black thumb, you may want to try sending a dried floral arrangement instead.
The Symbolism of Roses
Giving a bouquet of beautiful roses makes a clear statement: the receiver of the flowers is dear to the giver in some meaningful way. Different than giving just a bouquet, roses imply 'Hey, I mean this!' The giver has tried to bestow what some see as the most beautiful and splendid of flowers, which has been the symbol and sign of romance and a soother of the heart for thousands of years.
âThe time you spent on your rose makes it so importantâŠPeople have forgotten this truth, but you mustnât forget it. You become responsible forever for what youâve tamed. Youâre responsible for your rose.â â Antoine de Saint-ExupĂ©ry
Roses have been bred in various colours, each with its particular meaning. Now, there are no hard and fast rules â few recipients will fault one for sending a beautiful bouquet of the 'wrong' colour! But knowing the meaning a certain hue can imply and giving the appropriate roses will make the gift all the more wonderful. Discovering the best way to express your love, affection, friendship, thankfulness, joy, or any other gestures will make the receiver and the giver more fulfilled with giving.
Roses in Exotic Locations
Roses have a universal appeal, thriving in diverse places like Saint Martin, Saint Pierre et Miquelon, Norfolk Island, Wallis et Futuna, as well as locations in South Africa such as Cape Town and Johannesburg. These regions show that roses can be symbols of beauty in any climate.
Cultural Significance
Even if not native, roses are valued in these regions. In Saint Martin, tropical conditions support vibrant roses used in celebrations. Saint Pierre et Miquelonâs cooler climate allows for hardy roses in local gardens. Norfolk Islandâs sheltered spots grow classic roses, while Wallis et Futuna uses roses in cultural ceremonies for their symbolic purity. In South Africa, Cape Townâs Mediterranean climate and Johannesburgâs mild weather provide perfect conditions for a wide variety of roses, often featured in public gardens and events.
The Power of Love and Roses
Let someone special in your life know exactly how you feel about them, be they wife or husband, friend or lover, mum, mom, or dad, grandma or grandpa, or your favourite hero of the day - there are no limitations when sending roses. So let's look at the wonderful array of colours and their meaningsâŠ
Colours and Their Meanings
Red Rose Bouquet
Fabulous Flowers Red Rose Bouquet: Look What You Made Me Do
Red roses show love, passion, and respect. True red roses say "I love you" more than any other flower; deep red roses imply unconscious beauty and that true love may be stronger than thorns. It happens that the perfect red rose is more difficult to grow than any other colour â a reflection, perhaps, of perfect love ideal for Valentine's Day. Other particular colours of red also have particular meanings: Amaranth red, a long-standing desire. Cardinal red, sublime desire. Carmine, deceitful desire. Fiery red, flames of passion.
Sweet Pink - Stunning Roses for Your Occasion
Fabulous Flowers Pink Roses: Dusty Pink Rose Bouquet
Pink roses communicate grace and elegance with happiness, appreciation, admiration, and friendship. The gesture has a sweetness, like how good friends appreciate one another or that special feeling of a grandmother's care. Light pink is more about sharing joy, whereas dark pink is more thankful. Our dusty pink rose box is a real treat.
White Rose Bouquet
Stunning Bouquet: Pure Snow Rose Bouquet
White roses signify purity in many forms. Loyalty, purity, platonic love, and spiritual love â a love of the soul. Bridal white means happy love. White roses signify secrecy, reverence, humility, innocence, or charm. Note that white roses can symbolise death in Asian cultures.
Friendly Yellow - High-Quality Roses for All Occasions
Rose Bouquets: Good Morning Rose Bouquet
Yellow roses in Victorian times meant jealousy, though yellow shows "I care" today. The colour is that of familial love and domestic happiness â that of friendship, joy, gladness, or freedom. The yellow rose is also sometimes given in sympathy.
Coral and Orange Bouquet
Fabulous Flowers Orange Rose Bouquet: Sunset Rose Bunch
Coral roses, of beautiful orange-pink colour, imply a bright desire. Not quite as 'lusty' as the deep red, but more like "We can (or do) spend happy times together".
The Crone's Black - Moody Rose Bushes
Do black roses exist? Well, there are very deep colours of red, and they can be dyed. And their meaning depends on whom you ask: some say they symbolise death and can be given as an ominous symbol. Others say they represent the death of old habits or patterns and symbolise rebirthâŠit seems one should know the receiver when giving this colour!
Similar black, of course, no true blue roses are grown. They are a fantasy colour created through the death of plants, the flowers or plants themselves, or the addition of a dye to the bark at the shrub's roots. And like the surreal colour they are, blue represents wonder and dreamy possibilities.
Mixing Rose Colours
Mixing rose colours is always a wonderful option â mixing the hues allows one to express feelings personally. A few "standard" mixes are White and red to signify unity; red and yellow roses together say "Congratulations!"; yellow and orange in combination imply passionate thoughts.
A single rose denotes "I still love you", and a stunning bouquet of silk roses in full bloom expresses the same sentiment wonderfully; two roses of any colour taped or wired together signify a commitment or forthcoming marriage, giving rosebuds show appreciation for youth and beauty.
With roses and flowers, there are no limitations as to what can be expressed. The colours of the different types of roses all have their unique place in the history of human expression. Knowing the specific meaning of a rose only enhances the experience of sending and receiving them as a glorious and appreciated anniversary or birthday gift.
A Symbol of Love and Sacrifice
Love is the grease that allows the wheel of life to continue turning, and flowers are a way of physically showing love for another. When we love, we look beyond ourselves, beyond our needs and desires. We sacrifice our time, energy, wishes, and sometimes even ourselves because of love. Sometimes it is for an immediate person or group that we know intimately and loves completely, but other times it is for a larger group of people we don't know or perhaps even like. Love allows law enforcement and emergency services personnel to face danger. It is love that allows soldiers to risk everything. Love makes heroes every day in every corner of the world. As Thomas ĂŁ Kempis said: "Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength... It is, therefore, able to undertake all things, and it completes many things and warrants them to take effect, where he who does not love would faint and lie down."
The ultimate definition of love is not about feeling good but rather about doing good. A perfect example of love in action is Mother Teresa, who worked so long and so hard on behalf of others. However, we see it all around us if we look for it. Robert Louis Stevenson said: "The essence of love is kindness."
Love is important because life has no meaning or purpose without it. As Frank Tebbets says, "A life without love in it is like a heap of ashes upon a deserted hearth, with the fire dead, the laughter stilled, and the light extinguished." Love allows us to be more and do more than we could ever accomplish without its power.
