The Language of Roses

What Roses Say

For centuries roses have carried messages that words could not. A single red rose has long stood for devotion, while a soft blush pink leans toward gratitude and admiration. White roses speak of new beginnings and quiet respect, and a sunny yellow bloom is the flower of friendship and cheer.

The beauty of a rose is that it rarely travels alone in meaning. A mixed bouquet can say thank you, congratulations, and thinking of you all at once. When you send roses, you are really sending a small, fragrant sentence that the recipient gets to finish for themselves.

Choosing Your Message

Pick the color first, then the count. A dozen is classic and generous; a trio feels intimate and considered. However you arrange them, roses remain the most eloquent way to say something that matters.
