The Meaning of Roses, Part 2: White Roses

White

Representing, humility, purity and innocence, the white rose - often referred to as the bridal rose - is associated with young love. In Scotland, when the white rose bloomed in autumn, it was seen as a token of early marriage. Also symbolizing truth and reverence, it sends a message of loyalty and says "I am worthy of you," (as opposed to the genuflecting, Wayne's World "I'm not worthy..."). Send white roses if you are recently engaged, are soon to be married, or if you are trying to summon up the aura of new marriage. Interestingly, white is also the international symbol of surrender. Hmmm...

Red

OK, this one's easy: there’s nothing secret about the red rose’s symbolism of love. Valentine’s Day would hardly exist without this bold and dramatic bloom. The ultimate symbol of romantic love and enduring passion, the red rose also conveys respect and the creative spirit of love. Representing true love stronger than thorns, the red rose is known universally as the lover’s rose. Handle this with care in most instances. If it's early in the relationship, and you still ain't sure about it, you might consider a mixed color arrangement. Or just go for it. Tiger Lily Flowers has got your back.
