Red: the classic Valentine’s Day flower is the red rose. The red rose symbolizes passion and romantic love. It can also mean desire, beauty, and true love. The red rose is said to be associated with Venus or Aphrodite– the goddess of beauty.

Pink: a pink rose symbolizes sweetness, femininity, and gratitude.

Peach: (my favorite color rose!) the peachy hue symbolizes a demure love, modesty, and humility.

White: as you might have guessed, the white rose signifies virtue, purity, and innocence. A bouquet or red and white roses symbolizes perfect unity.

Orange: a fiery orange rose can mean passion, enthusiasm, and gratitude.
