Roses are among the most elegant, sentimental and symbolic of flowers. One thing I always notice about the miami florida real estate newsletters I receive in the mail is they often have pictures of beautiful flowers on them, including roses.
Roses are wonderful decorations for postcards of all kinds. I have seen them used for example on just listed just sold postcards as often as I have seen them on postcards from the bank or from my local lawn care agent.
The rose flower is often thought of as a symbol of love. It can however represent other important emotions. Here are some common symbols associated with varying colored roses:
Red - Red roses often symbolize passion and desire. Many believe the red rose is a universal symbol representing respect and deep love for another.
Pink - Pink roses are often a symbol of gratitude, thus many exchange them as a symbol of thanks or appreciation for a kind act. Lighter pink roses are often considered a sign of sympathy.
White - White roses are symbols of reverence and at times humility, especially among native American cultures and Christian cultures. Many also associate the white rose with innocence and happiness.
Yellow - Yellow roses often represent happiness, joy, peace, freedom and contentment. Some folklore however, describes the yellow rose in more dire terms, associating it with deceit often in the form of adultery (yikes!). Don't worry however, if your partner hands you a bouquet of yellow roses. Remember the more common interpretation is a positive one! Yellow roses may also symbolize friendship and trustworthiness.
Other variations of rose including mixed rose colors like orange, typically represent enthusiasm, positive feelings and happiness. This is why the rose is one of the more universally accepted symbols and one of the most popular flowers offered to friends and family alike!
