You’ve just received a couple of orange roses from your next door neighbor. What on earth do they mean?
Before you wrack your brains out figuring what that gesture means, go over this article. It’s the second part of our series on the colors of roses and their meanings.
Aside from being a popular Halloween flower, orange roses symbolize desire, enthusiasm and passion. They are considered an important link between the feelings of friendship embodied by yellow roses and love associated with red roses.
To give someone orange roses mean you want the relationship to move on and go to the next level. It’s a good way of saying that you want the relationship to go beyond the stage of friendship.
“The association of orange roses with romantic expressions is fitting, considering the obvious connection between the color of fire and the metaphors we associate with it. The orange rose has become the perfect way to symbolize the heat of passion, burning desire and the flames of love. Orange roses have a power to send a message of romance that can rival even the red rose,” according to the editors of Florapedia.
Orange roses are also a popular way of expressing your fascination with another person or saying, “I’m proud of you.” For this reason, they are often given to graduates or to people who have just been promoted.
White roses are the perfect choice for a new bride. They symbolize sincerity, loyalty and an undying love that conquers death.
“Also known as the bridal rose, the white rose is a traditional wedding flower. In this sense, they are a representation of unity, virtue, and the pureness of a new bond of love. White roses are also a symbol for young love, which further strengthens the association, and makes them ideal for marriages. Bridal bouquets are often comprised of white roses and other white flowers,” said the editors of Florapedia.
“White roses are also associated with honor and reverence, which makes them a fitting memorial for a departed loved one. Funeral and sympathy arrangements traditionally incorporate white roses as a part of the tribute. As a symbol of remembrance, the white rose represents heavenliness and is an expression of spiritual love and respect,” they added.
A father who admires and is proud of his daughter can also show this clearly by giving the latter white rose buds. When mixed with red roses, white roses signify unity.
