According to psychologists, various shades can have a tremendous impact on our emotional state, and such an effect can be both positive and harmful, and sometimes completely destructive.
Running once again past the flower shop and marveling at the variegated assortment, I came to the conclusion that I would hardly have bought dark, almost black, tulips, and huge red lilies tone me more than relax. That's exactly when the question arose: do the colors of roses matter when choosing, say, a gift for a birthday, a wedding or some kind of memorable date?
It turned out that the most direct, and some, however, very few, give bouquets exclusively to men, and there are those that are suitable only for representatives of the weak half of humanity.
Florists believe that the meaning of rose flowers cannot be called strict or categorical. However, it’s better not to forget about some rules in order not to fall into an awkward situation once, when a gift, instead of smiles and joy, will cause resentment or even a storm of indignation.
The color value of roses. Shades of red
First of all, I note that I was surprised to learn that it is customary to choose these flowers, given not only the situation or occasion, but also the age of the woman. Here, for example, pink buds are the most appropriate if you present them to young creatures from 14 to about 18 years old. Bright red is the best gift for a young woman under 25 years old. Older ladies, according to tradition, it is customary to give scarlet flowers, and after 35 years old, burgundy is suitable. However, it seems to me that such symbolism is too scarce for some of the most amazing plants on earth, so let's take into account the importance of the relationship that develops between giving and receiving a gift:
- The bud of the color of passion and love is red. Such a gift may be appropriate during a stormy romance or honeymoon. In addition, this color expresses approval and respect, which means that it is quite suitable if you decide to congratulate someone on successfully completed work or a brilliantly completed project.
- Burgundy and other more saturated colors are considered very noble. They are perfect for serious celebrations and celebrations, for example, for the anniversary of a grandmother or an elderly employee. A lush bouquet will certainly become a sign of unfading beauty.
- Delicate pink bouquets are presented to young creatures in order to emphasize their youth, modesty, tenderness, inexperience and naivety. Such flowers will be a great gift if the romance between a guy and a girl is just in its infancy, feelings are timid and pure. This is the first step to love and passion.
The color value of roses. Shades of white
I would immediately like to note that, despite the massive popularity of white buds, according to tradition, it is customary to present them to innocent girls, years 13-14, or brides. Although in the modern world it is permissible to give them to everyone, without exception, except, perhaps, the inhabitants of Japan, because in this country, white is considered mourning.
In our country, being a symbol of sincerity, prudence and purity, they are well suited if you need to congratulate a friend, colleague, just an acquaintance or a child. Cream flowers are included in the traditional wedding bouquet.
The color value of roses. Fancy shades
But with yellow plants you need to be careful, because it is known for certain that the color of the sun, oddly enough, is a color of betrayal and separation. Probably, you need to think more than once before making such a gift to your beloved woman or wife. It will be appropriate only if you know the taste preferences of a loved one for certain.
What color of roses is better to present to an employee or business colleague? Florists unanimously say: "Coral or orange!". Why exactly these? It is believed that this shade is suitable for active and purposeful women.
