Green Rose: Green roses are very much real and are probably one of the oldest roses to be found in nature along with wild and single roses.  They have been around since the 18th century and are green in color because they don’t have petals unlike other roses.

These green roses are generally meant to aid in pollination and are thus signs of life and constant rejuvenation of one’s spirit. A green rose is a sign of cheer and prosperity and shows great hope for the future.

Mostly black roses are a fictional creation to signify death or farewell.

Blue Rose: Blue roses are also not naturally found and are made blue with a pigmented color addition.  Generally blue roses imply something or someone that is unattainable or impossible. So, even though it is beautiful to look at, it may not have a very positive indication if someone gives you one.

Salmon Rose: Salmon rose is a slightly pinkish shade of an orange rose and can be created artificially. Gifting someone a salmon rose will show them that you desire them and thus they will know exactly how you feel.

Along with these different kinds of rose colors and their meanings, the number of roses meaning is also important. It is already obvious that if you give a person one red rose it means that you deeply admire and love them. But if you give them two red roses that are entwined together, it could mean that you want them to “Marry You”. So, different number of roses also has various connotations. Six roses, such as 6 Red Roses on 800Flower.ae, of any color mean that you want to be cherished or loved.  Gifting a person eleven roses shows that you truly love them and they are special to you.  If you are a recipient of thirteen roses mean someone likes you and is your secret admirer.
