Roses in
particular carry a compelling vocabulary of quaint expressions of emotion.
Everything from modesty to jealousy to gratitude to mourning...and of course,
every degree of love....may be expressed by the color, size, shape, maturity, or
position of the flower. But a perfect red rose always means "I love you", a
message which will never be confused with any other symbolic meaning of a
flower. Opinions vary on the many symbolic colors of roses, but here are
