Send Roses

Receiving a beautiful flower will brighten up the entire day and is appreciated by anyone and a good reason to send roses to someone. Sending a single rose is a modest way of showing friends, family and co-workers that you think about them as wish them well. By using the traditional Victorian flower language you can convey a world of feelings in one single rose. The most well known messenger among the flowers is of course the single red rose that is used by lovers all over the world to send each other messages of love, affection and devotion. The Victorian flower language is however much richer than most people think, and flowers have been used to send highly intricate messages between friends as well as lovers.

In this article you will learn about a few different rose colors and their inner meaning. Regardless of the occasion, there will definitely be a suitable flower to send if you wish to look deeper into the secret world of the Victorian flower language.

Send a rose to the friend who helped you move, who proof read your resume or who brought your soup when you were ill. Ideally choose a cerise rose, or any other rose with a deep pink shade, since this was the symbol of gratitude and appreciation during the Victorian era. Do not choose a light pink shade for this occasion, since the pale pink rose is a symbol of sympathy. The light pink rose is instead ideal for the friend who is going through a rough patch of his or her life and need some consoling.

Send roses to your friend when she is starting her new job. Ideally choose an orange rose, since the orange rose symbolizes a new beginning, enthusiasm and eagerness according to the old Victorian flower language. Starting a new job is usually a mix of enthusiasm and panic, and knowing that a friend is thinking of you and wishing you all the best is reassuring as well as uplifting.

Send roses to your co-worker to celebrate your finished project. A peach rose symbolizes a successful endeavor, something that has gone well or a deal that has been closed. It is important that you choose a strong peach color, since a pale peach rose instead symbolizes modesty, and modesty is probably not what you feel after finishing your great project together. If you combine the peach roses with orange roses, the bouquet will symbolize a finished project as well as enthusiasm for a new exciting project.

Send a rose with a deep burgundy color to a friend that feels unsure about her appearance and needs some cheering up. According to the traditional Victorian flower language, sending someone a deep burgundy rose is equivalent to saying “You are so beautiful without even knowing it” or “You possess unconscious beauty”. Note that the burgundy rose must be fresh. A rose that have been allowed to whither means “Beauty is short-lived”.

Send roses to friends or relatives to celebrate pregnancy or child-birth. Ideally choose a green rose if you can find one, since the green rose symbolizes fertility, the richness of nature and the constant renewal of life. Be careful however; some people erroneously interpret green roses as a sign of jealousy. But on the other hand, who isn’t jealous of the one who has just been blessed with a child?
