Rose Color and Number Meanings

Did you know that different colored roses actually mean different things? If you are anything like most men, the answer to that question was most likely a no. For most men a flower is just a flower, but to women each flower has its own special meaning. Those roses you bought your friend for her birthday, did they mean friendship? What about the ones you bought your girlfriend for your anniversary, did they symbolize love? How can you be sure you are saying exactly what you mean? Down below you will find a list of rose colors and their intended meanings.

Red: Love, Beauty, Romantic Love

White: Purity, Innocence, Reverence

Pink (Light or Dark): Appreciation, Thanks, Gratitude

Yellow: Joy, Friendship, Delight

Orange: Desire, Enthusiasm

Red and White Together: Unity

Peach: Appreciation, Sincerity, Gratitude

Lavender: Enchantment

If that wasn’t confusing enough, the number of roses can actually make a difference as well.

Single Rose: Utmost devotion

Two Roses Entwined: “Marry Me”

Six Roses: Need to be loved or cherished

Eleven Roses: Truly and deeply loved

Thirteen Roses: Secret admirer
