Roses, especially red roses, represent passion and romance. If giving red roses has become an expected tradition in your relationship, you might change things occasionally by giving them in a different color, such as orange or coral, or mix another flower into the bouquet.

Orange represents desire while yellow conveys a feeling of friendship. Pink blooms show gratitude and admiration and are a good choice to send your mother or favorite aunt. Give a mixed color bouquet if you aren't completely sure of what you want to say.
