Roses Are Red (And Other Colors)

When roses are red, Reader’s Digest says, they indicate love and romance. But did you know that other colors can relay other messages? Yellow roses convey friendship, while white roses indicate purity, so they may not be the best options for Valentine’s Day. Lavender roses indicate love at first sight, though, and orange roses indicate passion and desire. The final word, however, is whichever the recipient likes best.
