I recently bought a Pink-is-for-gratitude rose seedling and I am glad after reading this that my choice in colour was suited for it intended purpose (I didn't know it at the time that I was buying a gratitude rose). Even more interesting, the rose almost on a weekly basis produced about three fresh pink roses.

Red - Love

Colors range from bright red to deep burgundy.

Varieties include Charlotte, Forever Young,

Classy, and Rouge Baiser.

Red roses are given to those

who you want to show love and passion,

people who you have great respect for,

and those who have shown great courage.

The quantity can also have a special meaning.

A single red rose shows love, a dozen shows gratitude,

twenty-five shows congratulations

and fifty show unconditional love.

Two red roses tied together symbolizes an engagement.

The shade of the red has a meaning as well.

Bright red means love, burgundy means unconsious love,

dark crimson is used to show mourning.

A withered red rose is used to show that the love is over.

A red rosebud symbolizes youthful love and beauty.

Pink - Gratitude

Colors range from light pink to peach to darker pink.

Varieties include Ana, Livia,

Pink Titanic, Rossini, Orlando and Attaché.

Pink roses in general are given

to those whom you want to show

thankfulness, admiration, and happiness.

The different shades of pink

can have more precise meanings.

Deep pink is used for appreciation and gratitude,

where as light pink conveys

admiration and sympathy,

and peach roses are given to show modesty.

Yellow - Friendship

Colors range from light yellow to golden.

Varieties include Gold Strike,

Skyline, Judy and Aalsmeer Gold.

Yellow roses express joy, gladness, and friendship.

They are given to new mothers,

newlyweds, and graduates.

They're also used as a reminder

to a loved one to show that you care.

In the past yellow was used

to show jealousy and a decrease of love.

Orange - Desire

Colors range from bright orange to coral.

Varities include Tropical

Amazon, Marlyse, and Sari.

Orange roses are given

to those who you desire,

those you want to get to know better,

or those who you are proud of.

White - Purity

Colors range from pure white

to creams to very light pinks.

Varieties include Eskimo,

Bianca, Akito, and Vendella.

White roses are given to those

who are innocent, reverent, and pure.

They are very commonly used in weddings.

They can also be given as a sign of secrecy.

A white rosebud is used to show girhood.

A white rose that has been dried

means "Death is Preferable to Loss of Virtue".

A whithered white rose represents fleeting beauty,

or given to show that no impression was made.

Lavender - Enchantment

Varities include Allure, Bluebird,

Blue Curosia, and Stranger.

Lavender roses show that you have fallen in love

with someone from the moment you saw them.

It also can be given to those

who you feel are very unique,

and those who you feel are enchanting.
