On Valentine\u2019s Day, when one person hands another a rose it holds a special meaning. All of the different colors have a different meaning, in addition to why the person gave the rose in the first place.
\n
\nA red rose, one of the most common colors, usually symbolizes love and passion. Hall monitor Dawn Sellers explains, \u201cred is love, yellow is I miss you, and white is friendship.\u201d People have many thoughts about the different meanings. \u00a0Senior Courtney Harris says, \u201cI think red means love romantically, I think Pink means I like you, and possibly that you wish to keep the relationship steady. I personally think white means \u2018I adore you.\u2019\u201d
\nMost people think that colors of roses have specific meanings only because there are different colors of roses. \u00a0Sophomore Traci Longanecker says, \u201c… colors have different meanings, yellow means friendship, pink means crush, and red means love.\u201d \u00a0Another reason for the different meanings of roses may be because of previous relationships, or possibly family. \u00a0Sophomore Maddy Good says, \u201cThe different colors mean different things because of the different feelings.\u201d
\nAs new hybrids of roses are created certain people give a name to go with the new rose. \u00a0Maddy Good says, \u201cPancho Tia.\u201d \u00a0Roses have become a very popular item to give a significant other on Valentine\u2019s Day. \u00a0The names for roses probably came from other names mixed together. \u00a0Traci Longanecker says, \u201cIf I could name a rose I would name it Trose, because it\u2019s my name plus rose.\u201d
\nWhen the different colors of roses came along, right after that came the meanings with each color. \u00a0People have their own thoughts on why someone came up with the different meanings of the colors of roses. \u00a0Casey McDonald states, \u201cTo show someone how much they love someone else.\u201d \u00a0The person who came up with the different meanings must have been thinking about that special someone in their lives. \u00a0Longanecker explains, \u201cBecause they wanted their girlfriend to feel special.\u201d
\nOn Valentine\u2019s Day when a guy gives a girl a rose, just a single rose it is one of the most romantic things. \u00a0Longanecker explains that the reason girls think it is so special on Valentine\u2019s Day to get a rose is because they feel loved. \u00a0The thought of a flower from someone special in one\u2019s life makes a person feel extremely loved or special inside. \u00a0Maddy Good explains, \u201cCause they are pretty, and expensive!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
