redrose-pic-11I am sure everyone has heard that red roses signify true love and passion, which is why red roses are in high demand during Valentine’s Day; but what do the other colors of roses mean? Whether you are in a new relationship and not ready to give red roses, or you simply want to congratulate your friend for a job well done, I am going to help you decode the color of roses, so you don’t send mixed signals to the recipient.

Red Roses:  mean love, passion, true love, deep love and everlasting love. Red Roses are generally reserved for your partner.

Dark Pink Roses also represent love, but a simple and light hearted love, possibly a new love or relationship.

Light/Pale Pink: Roses are given to express sympathy.
