The Meaning of Pink Roses

Have you ever wondered what PINK ROSES mean? Pink roses convey the emotions of appreciation, grace, admiration, perfect happiness, gentleness, and to say, “thank you” or “please believe me”.

Generally, pink is a great choice at the beginning of a relationship to show you admire the person. Pink roses are a symbol of elegance also. If you want to covey a more gentle image, pink roses are the right choice.

I prefer to give pink roses to a new mom who just had a baby girl. It was a popular choice for people when I worked at a florist. I like them mixed with yellow roses.

Here are some of my favorite pink rose bouquets:

Did you know? Someone who gives you yellow roses at the beginning of a relationship is saying that they are falling in love with you.

Yellow roses with red tips on them show a warm friendship with a feeling of falling in love. When someone gives you such a bouquet, they are saying, “I am falling in love with you”.

Yellow roses have many more meanings: they can be a symbol of joy, delight, jealousy, gladness, friendship and new beginnings. Sometimes yellow roses show a promise of a new beginning or a welcoming back. They also portray a feeling of jealousy, caring and the wanting of being remembered by you.

Yellow roses show warmth and happiness in a true friendship. If you receive yellow roses from your best friend, I think it is safe to say she meant friendship.

I like to think of yellow roses as cheerful and bright – and as make ideal “get well flowers” to send when someone is sick or needs some happiness in their life.

With a flower delivery service you can order flowers online and have them delivered anywhere in the USA that has a physical location (no PO Boxes). You just need a name and address. You can have flowers delivered to a home, apartment, place of work, a funeral home, etc.

Many online flower delivery websites contract with local florists to fulfill their orders. Others have their own growers and stores. Some online florists are more transparent about this than others. There are advantages to both.

When you place an order online, the website may tell you that your order will be fulfilled by an “affiliated florist.” This means that your order will be transmitted electronically to a local florist. They will arrange your flowers and deliver it themselves. So even though you order from a wire service like FTD or Teleflora, the flowers may be delivered by a local company. This is good because the flowers will be fresh and if there are any problems you know who to go to.

The wire services provide the networks for independent shops and facilitate the transfer of orders nationally and internationally. This helps allow a seamless, speedy method of delivery of fresh flowers around the world.

Be aware that your flower arrangement may not look exactly as you expect based on what you saw online. That’s because most arrangements you order online include a photograph that represents the type of arrangement that will be delivered. This is not an exact image of the exact arrangement. The florist will try to deliver an arrangement as close to the picture as possible. The more exotic or precise the picture, the less likely your arrangement will look like it. Having worked at a florist we always did our best to match what the customer ordered, but sometimes we couldn’t do it for the price or else we didn’t have the particular items in stock.

Some online florists have their own distribution centers across the country and they ship all orders directly from these sources. The flowers may be coming from another country. Just remember that even if your order is sub-contracted to a local florist, the website you order from will accept your payment directly. The web site owners pay a fee to the online store who referred them and pay them for your order.

Flowers for Mothers Day

I go for the classic when it comes to Mother’s Day – I buy my mom flowers. If you need some help, check out JustFlowers Mother’s Day collection. Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10th, so about a month away. Make sure you order early because Mother’s Day is 2nd to Valentine’s Day in the florist business – expect it to be busy! I got my start in the florist business delivering flowers on Mothers Day. After that the florist offered me a job year-round and it turned out to be one of my favorite jobs ever (hence the site and blog).

Here are my recommendations for Mothers Day Flowers:

• Even though they’re gorgeous for Spring – avoid tulips. They fall apart too easily.
• Consider a potted Easter lily or other flowering plant so your mom can enjoy the flowers for weeks. Pansies are simple, hearty and beautiful – I planted one in a pot I bought at Walmart. It looks classy and is easy on the budget.
• Older moms might appreciate a wrist corsage – esp. if she goes to church. She’ll feel special and can show off her flowers to her friends.
• Lilies of all kinds are very hardy and I love them mixed with roses (not red but colored roses).
• My favorite is monochromatic flower mixes – so all white with touches of color – or all in a similar color scheme.

If you’re not getting flowers for your mom, what are you planning to get her? And don’t worry I won’t tell her!
