What's your favorite color rose?

Color means emotion and this Valentine's you can express every feeling in your heart with a presentation of roses in colors that say what's on your mind -- or what's in your heart!

Red -- The red rose tells your valentine without a doubt, "I love you." A vibrant and dramatic color, it stands for romance and passion. It's the perfect choice for your true love, the love of a lifetime or someone you want to get the message it's time to "get serious."

White -- Tells your angel of a valentine that they're simply "heavenly," and is a great color for the romantic in your life! White roses also stand for innocence, which makes it a perfect color choice for dads to give daughters.

Red & White Together -- By themselves these red and white roses are gorgeous, but together, they symbolize unity. What a great surprise for the newlywed valentine, loving partner or to send to your parents to say "Thanks for being such a great symbol of love through the years!"

Pink -- Send deep pink roses and you're telling that someone special you appreciate their sense of grace, style and their gentle nature. Send them light pink roses and you're saying "I really admire you!" This rose color is just the right pick to send to someone you want to become your special valentine and sign the card, "Love, your secret admirer."

Yellow -- Could there be any other color but bright, sunny yellow to symbolize friendship, affection and joy? Send your best friend a bunch of these stunning blooms with a card that says, "You'll be my best friend forever!"

Coral or Orange -- You caught their eye, they caught your eye. There's smoke, now there's a chance for fire. Send orange roses, the color of desire, and wait for passion to ignite.

Deep Burgundy -- Beautiful doesn't even begin to compare to your valentine, but they're unaware of how stunning they truly are. Burgundy roses, which mean "unconscious beauty," are the right choice for this shy valentine.

Red & Yellow Blends -- Red and yellow roses together symbolize joy, happiness and excitement! Gather these gorgeous blooms into one dozen or buy a single stem of each color and put in individual bud vases for a statement of love that your valentine will never forget!

Lavender -- It's love at first sight with this unique rose color. The moment you saw your valentine, your heart skipped a beat. Send a gorgeous array of lavender roses and tell your valentine once again, "I fall in love all over again every time I see you."

Stand Up and Be Counted!
The amount of roses can also take on special meaning for you and your valentine.

Take a few roses out of a dozen and surprise your sweetie when they least expect it. Leave a single rose, which stands for simplicity and love, on their nightstand or by their breakfast.

Two roses taped or wired together to form a single stem signals an engagement or coming marriage. This is a great way to propose!

A guy I worked with had roses delivered to me and there was a BLACK one in the center. It was downright spooky. Needless to say, he never got anywhere with me.

My second husband always sent me one red rose for every year we'd been married on our anniversary. We were married 8 years. Our divorce became final just 3 days before our 9th anniversary. So, I sent him 9 long stemmed very crispy black dried up roses in a white box with a big red bow. He was not impressed. :roll:

In fact, he was downright scared. Made my friend that worked with him open them....she, of course was rolling on the floor laughing and he said something like "IT IS NOT FUNNY"! And something about me being sick.

I much prefer other flowers than roses. Am I the only one? :dunno:
