Flower, Rose

ROSE FLOWER - The most common interpretation is that the rose symbolizes an immortal love or a union that will never fade, even through time or death.  Similarly in Christian lore, a rose bush was said to have grown at the site of Christ's death. His blood serving is often associated with a red rose, combined with its thorns is thus symbolized the ultimate sacrifice.

Each color offers a distinct meaning when you use fresh flowers:

• Red - Enduring Love and Passion
• White - Purity, Humility and Innocence
• Yellow - Friendship and Joy
• Pink - Gratitude, Appreciation and Admiration
• Orange - Enthusiasm and Desire
• Lilac or Purple - Enchantment and Love at First Sight
