Roses are an obvious go-to gift for Valentine’s Day. But were you aware that every color of rose has meaning?

Below we have created a quick reference list of the color of roses and their symbolic meaning.

 

RED

This is the most common color of rose give on Valentines Day and rightfully so.  Red represents true love, respect, courage, and often as congratulations.  It’s no coincidence that this color of rose is synonymous with Valentines Day as it is said to be the flower favored by Venus, the Goddess of love.

 

YELLOW

Yellow roses are quite beautiful and automatically you can feel a sense of joy upon looking at them and this is just what they stand for.  Along with joy this color rose also represents freedom, friendship, and remembrance.
