The Colour of the Rose Has a Hidden Meaning?

Okay – so giving beautiful fresh roses as a gift maybe a little more complicated than you once thought.  Obviously, there is a meaning attached to the number of roses given and now, the colour of the blooms.  Yes, apparently the colour of the rose (s) has a special meaning.  Now don’t beat yourself up too much about this because not everyone is aware of the meanings & are just so delighted to get such a precious gift – they are simply grateful.  But here goes, if you want the heads up on the meanings of the different coloured roses:-

However, in the very early days of war,it was very unlucky to give Red & White Roses Together as it was a sign of “Blood & Bandages”.  Therefore, a bad omen for the receiver usually a lady meaning that their man going to war may end up with “blood & bandages”.  Some hospitals & nursing staff still feel it is unlucky to send a patient red & white roses.

MIXED COLOURED ROSES

* Trinity

* Festive

* EASY WAY OUT – making sure you say everything you should and leaving no stone unturned. Plus, there is bound to be one rose or colour that the recipient loves and decides that is the meaning they wish the roses to mean:-)  Basically a “win – win” situation:-)
