Do you like recieving roses as gifts? Ako, honestly hindi...kung bakit mamaya ko na lang isheshare. Pero as i was browing the net sa mga meaning ng color ng roses napag isip-isip din ako. Wala lang just had an idea na... ah.. ganito pala yun. Maganda pala ito, okey pala ito etc... But knowing these meaning still doesnt change the fact that im not into ROSES.

The quest for a blue rose continues, since they are merely a fabrication of the eager, dreaming mind at this point. The blue roses that exist are actually variations of purple or lavender, which look blue in certain light. However, you wouldn't really want to send a blue rose to someone, as it means a figment of the imagination, or something unobtainable. If you like blue roses just because they are different, consider the decadent Blue Moon hybrid tea rose.
Kung tutusin pwede kong maging paborito ang bulaklak na ito dahil sa kulay nya. Kase paborito ko ang kulay blue. Actually nung ikasal ako sa first hubby ko blue ang motiff namin. Ganda nyang tignan noh. Pero hanggang dyan lang yan, i never dreamed of recieving one.

Red roses immediately bring to mind passion and true love. A single red rose signifies "I love you" and has been made even more popular these days with the success of TV shows like "The Bachelor", where each chosen lady is given a single, long-stemmed rose to show the star's appreciation and growing passion toward her.
Red roses can also convey thoughts of courage and congratulations. The "Run for the Roses" is the symbolic name for the first race of Thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown. Held in Lexington, Kentucky at Churchill Downs, the race rewards the triumphant young racehorse with a blanket of gorgeous red roses.

In German culture these yellow roses are a symbol of infidelity and dying love, but more traditionally they're a symbol of friendship and happiness. Rose Magazine states that yellow roses, though actually an ancient flower as shown through fossil evidence, weren't prevalent until discovered in the Middle East in the 1700s. Since then it's been a popular favorite in gardens and bouquets alike.
Although the song, "The Yellow Rose of Texas" popularized the flower in that state, it's interesting to note the flower isn't the official State Flower - that honor goes to the Bluebonnet. Nor is the song about a rose - it's about a woman named Emily West Morgan.
However, there was a yellow rose grown at the time of the song's creation called Harrison's Yellow. The yellow rose became famous because the song was often sung at battle.
Send some of these golden beauties to a sick friend and watch the recipient perk right up! They are also perfect for new mothers, someone newly engaged or as a colorful thank you. Some gorgeous yellow roses to consider sending are the lightly fragrant and deep yellow Gold Strike, the long-lasting favorite Aalsmeer Gold. For very special friends consider the spray rose Rhumba, with five yellow-fringed-with-orange blossoms on each stem.

| Happiness, Elegance, Romance, Admiration, Sweetness, Thank You Ranging from a subtle hint of color to deep and bright, pink roses have come to mean joy, happiness, gratitude and admiration. They're often seen in bridal arrangements, thank you or congratulations bouquets. Considering the word "rose" brings to mind the faint blush of a fair maiden's cheeks, it's not surprising these blooms are a favorite to give and receive. There are many different variations of pink, from a pale blush to a gentle medium pink to a vibrant pink, each having its own meaning and implication. The palest pink roses are a sign of gentleness, joy and grace. Bridal Pink is a perfect pale pink floribunda rose that is long lasting and offers a spicy scent. The light to medium pink roses can show sympathy or admiration. Lady Diana is a beautiful light pink rose perfect for either emotion. Deep pink roses, such as Laser and Diplomat are perfect choices to show someone how grateful you are to have them in your life. |

Probably the most mystical and fairy-tale perfect color of rose is lavender. It is said if someone gives you a purple rose it means they fell in love with you at first sight, just like Cinderella's Prince Charming!
It's interesting as well to note that purple is a royal color, so sending a single purple rose means you find her majestic, opulent and special. If you are seeking to voice your deepest love and admiration for someone consider sending the dynamic Blue Curiosa or the blend of colors in Lavender Duet.

| Appreciation, Sincerity, Gratitude, Modesty |
Peach roses are often sent as gesture of appreciation or gratitude rather than as a token of love. Their gentle yet pleasing color can also be sent as an expression of sympathy. These subtle, gorgeous blooms are ideal to say "thanks!" or to show how much you miss a dear friend. Choose from the palest peach of Champagne; the spray rose Porcelina, with up to five stunning peach blooms on each stem; and the deeper peach of the flawless Orsiana.
Now, after reading the above. Nagbago ka na ba ng paboritong kulay sa rosas? O naging paborito mo na din ba ang rosas. Anyway, and pinaka dahilan ng pagsulat kong ito ay napaka simple lang - to reveal ang gusto kong kulay ng rosas. Napaka contradictory no? Ayoko ng roses pero may gustong kulay pala ako. Bago ang rebelasyon na yan, gusto ko lang muna ibahagi ang dahilan kung bakit ayokong makatanggap ng rosas bilang isang regalo. Unang una marahil sa pagiging sentimental ko. wheee di nga? diba mentras sentimental ka mas lalo kang na ta-touch kung makakatanggap ka ng roses. Well, sila yun. Ako hindi. Ang pagiging sentimental ko yung tipong maitatago ko sya, makikita ko sya lagi at maipapakita ko pa din sa iba ng di nagbago ang hitsura nito. Ang rosas, NALALANTA. Matapos gumastos ng nagbigay sa iyo nito mawawala lang ito ng parang hangin. Oo, pwedeng may ilan na nagtatabi ng lantang rosas, pero para sa akin kalat lang yan! Minsan ngang napasyal kami sa bahay ng dati kong ka-batchmate na si China Cojuangco, ipinakita nya sa akin ang kwarto ng kapatid nyang si Mikee na noon ay sumisikat. Bubungad sa iyo ang malaking swatch watch na naka sabit sa pader. Sa gilid ng sa tabi ng pinto nandun ang kanyang tukador at naka hilera dun ang mga 3 hanggang 4 na mga kahon ng rosas. Yung iba fresh pa yung iba lantutay na. Maaring sa una pwede mong idisplay.. Itinuro din nya na yung isa dun ay galing kay Aga Muhlac. Pero sa tingin nyo, makalipas ng mahigit 15 taon nandun pa din kaya sa tukador na yun ang mga bulaklak na yun.Wala na yun noh, kahit galing pa yan sa sikat na artista o pulitiko, lanta na yun. Meron din naman na sadyang iniipit yung rosas sa pahina ng mga libro para mapitpit ito at dun na mag dry... heler.... makikita mo lang yan pag binuklat mo ulit ang libro na yan. Do you get my point. Ang gusto ko kase makatanggap man ako ng regalo, yun bang nagagamit, yung naitatago, yung nakikita, yung hindi nauubos, yung napapakinabangan. Well, hwag nyo namang isipin na hindi kase ako nakakatanggap ng bulaklak kaya ganyan na lang ang reaction ko ha. Of course naman naranasan ko din naman mabigyan ng roses pero alam mo yun, wala syang arrive sa akin. Wala syang kilig points sa akin. Meron pang isa, chocolates. Usong uso yan sa mga nanliligaw diba? Pero nauubos to, tapos hindi din naman yung pinagbigyan mo ang makikinabang nito kung sakaling hindi sya mahilig sa chocolate. Ibibigay nya lang yan sa kaibigan nya or sa bunsong kapatid nya. Hahahaha! Pabango? Mabango nga sya pero ilang spray lang yan. Mauubos at mauubos din yan. O alam ko na sasabihin ng iba yung lalagyan naman ng pabango pwedeng itabi. Bakit?! Pangdagdag kalat, pangdagdag sa aalikabukan, para ipagmalaki na may mamahalin kang pabango?! Kung mamahalin nga ah. Kanya kanyang opinyon, basta ako hanggat maari ayoko ng mga ganyang regalo. O may nauso pa noon, balloons. Ano ba yun, mga magaganda lang yang tignan pero..bibili ka ng napakamamahal na lobo tapos puputok lang naman. Helllooooo. Magisip isip nga. Eh ako na nga bibigyan nagrereklamo pa. Ayun ay kung maari lang naman hindi mga yan ang matanggap ko. Wala namang prublema kung may magbigay pero alam mo yun... wala ngang value sa akin yun. Mabuti pang magbigay ka ng mug. O db kada timpla nya ng kape maalala ka nya. Pwede din naman yung stuff toy, yung medyo malaki naman ha wag yung kasing laki lang ng keychain.

| gifts that last |
Ang stuff toy, nayayakap, nailalagay sa kama, pwede din ilagay sa kotse, pag may pumuna kanino yan galing o db maaalala ka nya. Relo, kada tingin nya sa oras, ikaw ang maiisip nya. Tshirt, nasusuot mo ng madalas. Mga frames or figurines, maididisplay ito na magpapaalala sa pinagbigyan mo na- ito pala ay galing sa iyo. Minsang dinalhan ako ng late husband ko ng red rose, na para sa akin with matching cookies & small heart balloon for our baby na si Reign. Tapos yung binigay pa nya na rose hindi yung gusto ko na kulay. Anong naramdaman ko, wala lang. Yung tipong sana gatas na lang ng anak nya ang binili nya matutuwa pa ako. Weird ko ba? Kaya nga diba, kanya kanyang opinyon yan.
Ano nga ba ang gusto kong kulay sa rosas? Ngayon ko lang ihahayag yan, na ulti mo ang husband ko ay walang ka idea idea dito. Asawa mo na naman bakit di mo pa sabihin. Eh ayoko noh. Diba siguro baka magka kilig points ako kung tipong ayoko nga ng rose pero yung gustong kulay ko naman ang binigay nya. Well, KUNG mababasa ito ni Resty malalaman nya. Kaso hindi naman yun mahilig magbasa ng mga ganito.. kaya 90% sure ako my revelation sa kulay ng rose na gusto ko eh hindi pa din nya malalaman. Hahahahaha....anyway i am not revealing this naman for him to know. Just i want to let others know and no need to keep it to myself beside hindi ko naman feel maka receive nito. BOOM!

| three white roses, with a teddy bear & ferrero rocher |
Yan ang regalo! Malanta man ang rosas, matunaw man ang chocolate may stuff toy naman na pwedeng itabi. Yan ang gusto kong kulay sa rose....WHITE ROSE. Nung debut ko nga red yung 17 roses pero yung 18th rose ko is white. Hindi ko naman boyfriend yung pang 18th rose ko ha. Basta sa akin mahalaga na white yun kase yun ang gusto ko. Feel ko din na maka recieve ng isang bugkus ng pulang rosas from delivery pero yung pinaka huling rose is white na personal na iaabot sa akin. Yan ang idea ko ng sa klase ng pagtanggap ng bulaklak. Yung may effort, yung may kakaibang paraan ng paghahandog. Yun nga lang white dapat kase kahit libo libong halaga pa ng rosas ang ibigay mo na may stuff toy o magandang pang display... i will not be able to appreciate yung flower mismo.
So...kayo, anong gusto nyong kulay ng rosas?
