In fact, when you give someone a bouquet of roses, the color of the flowers is supposed to symbolize a message from you. Brush up on your Rose 101, or you might inadvertently send someone the wrong signal.

| red | True love |
| blue | Mystery, attaining the impossible, love at first sight |
| white | Innocence, virtue, purity, reverence, humility |
| black | Death, hatred, farewell, rejuvenation or rebirth |
| yellow | Friendship, jealousy, infidelity, apology, broken heart |
| pink | Grace, friendship |
| dark pink | Gratitude |
| light pink | Desire, passion, joy of life, youth, energy |
| burgundy | Unconscious beauty |
