Understanding the symbolism behind roses is crucial when choosing a bouquet to send your loved one. The color and number included convey a variety of messages, so be sure you are sending the right one with Pali Florist & Gift Shop in Kailua, HI. Below the leading florist lists a few sentiments and how to bring them to life in a floral arrangement.  

A Guide to Choosing Meaningful Roses 

1. Romance

Red roses are a romantic option that says “I love you.” Choosing a dozen red roses and embellishing with ribbon in your loved one’s favorite color or material, such as velvet, sends a clear message of fondness. Accompany with baby’s breath in a vase for a breathtaking arrangement. 

2. Friendship or Wellness

Vibrant roses in an assortment of colors convey affection and positivity. Choose stylish tissue paper and elegant ribbon wrapped around a long-stem bouquet for a more dramatic look.

3. Thank You

The traditional “thank you” arrangement is comprised of dark pink roses. Or, if you want to opt for another color, any bundle of the same color communicates gratitude. Long or short stems are both excellent approaches.

4. Sympathy

Opposed to the bright and bold colors of happier occasions, choosing soft, pastel, or even white roses express sympathy. You would not add much embellishment to this bouquet. Keep it simple and include a card with your condolences written on it.
