For the roses...

Pedro Calderon de la Barca~ has quoted it well that when Love is not madness, then it is not love! To show this madness we celebrate a complete week, dedicated to LOVE and it is famously named as Valentine Week... isnt it ? 


Rose Day marks the beginning of the Valentine Week. Rose is a beautiful and versatile flower. When you find yourself standing in the sea of roses, the smell is intoxicating! Whatever the occasion, roses have an allure that is hard to resist. These are perhaps one of the most classic and complex of all flowers. With such a populous fan club, it should come as no surprise that the rose makes its ways into literature, popular songs and nostrils everywhere. They come in many vivid and pastel colorings.


All the way back to ancient times, people have been giving roses to signify different things. Nothing shows your heart more clearly then a fresh rose! Ever been shopping for roses and been totally confused about what color to get ? With Valentine's Day fast approaching, its time for a quick review...




A Red Rose :: It is the universal signature of everlasting and enduring Love and Passion. They represent the blood boiling fervor of "new love" as well as the unwavering strength of "mature love". This makes it a time honored tradition in way of expressing one's love!


A Dark Pink Rose :: If you are looking for a way to tell your parents that how much do they mean to you, a bouquet of pink would do the trick. It represents gratitude and appreciation. These roses also show sophistication that make them a perfect way to say "thank you" to someone who has been very thoughtful for you.


A Pale Pink Rose :: It represent sympathy, grace and gentleness. You could really dress up any time in your happy home with this color.


A White Rose :: It symbolizes truth and innocence. This color of rose is perfect for peace. They also send messages like "i miss you"
.
A Yellow Rose :: It symbolizes friendship, joy and caring. So if you want to tell your close friend how much they mean to you and how much happy you are to have them in your life, then there is no better way than a bouquet of yellow roses.





A Coral/Orange Rose :: The coral rose signals desire and orange rose connotes enthusiasm. So if you are passionate about someone then there is no better colors to choose, to show them that you think they are sexy! 


A Black Rose :: It represents the death of an old habit and a promise of a new beginning. Black roses are also known as dead roses. Well, there is no rose of black color. There are some of deep red and called Black Magic! 




A Peach Rose :: It is ambiguous in meaning as it may signify sympathy or gratitude. It is said that this rose is a perfect rose to give to someone who has just experienced a loss.


A Purple Rose :: If you want to express the fact that you have fallen in love with someone at first sight and are enchanted then purple roses are very viable candidate.


There is no more such classic way to express your feelings then to give a bouquet of beautiful flowers! So just make sure that you are saying what you really want to say  with the flowers you choose !! 
Enjoy the Valentine Week .. Have the best one !!! :)
