What do pink roses mean?
Pink roses typically symbolise admiration, happiness, and love. More subtle than the traditional bold red rose, pink roses are often used to signify a strong friendship or the love between family members. Pink roses can also represent admiration and respect towards someone close to you. This can make them a great gift for birthdays, or to just let someone know you’re thinking of them.
While pink roses originated in Asia, but today they’re grown all over the world, and have many unique meanings in different cultures. In China, for example, pink roses are often used to symbolise thanks and congratulations, while they are known to represent grace, elegance, and purity elsewhere.
The number of pink roses used in an arrangement also has its own unique meaning. A bunch of just three pink roses, for example, says ‘I love you’, while a traditional arrangement of 12 roses is seen as a sign of gratitude and commitment.
Using pink roses to decorate
No matter the occasion, pink roses make excellent decorations. Tie them into your party theme to add some colour to any event, or place them around your home for your next garden party or get together. You might even want to pair them with greenery or other colours of rose for a bouquet or centrepiece that really pops.
Bright pink roses don’t need to be in a large bouquet to showcase their beauty. Place just one or two pink roses in an elegant vase as a table centrepiece, or scatter their colourful petals on top of a white tablecloth to make a statement. Why not get creative and re-purpose any leftover household jars or containers to create a fun and sustainable display?
If you’re decorating your home with pink roses, you might want to create a simple rose wreath for your front door to give your house a beautiful floral flair. You could even go one step further and create some paper flowers to top off the decorations.
Crafting a pink rose bouquet
Looking to craft your own pink rose bouquet? There are lots of ways to create the perfect pink rose bouquet for any occasion. Pink roses can work well alongside lots of different types of flowers and colours, from white and pink funeral sprays to multicoloured birthday arrangements.
Pink roses also look great on their own and could make an impactful all-rose bouquet. They pair beautifully with other pastel-colours, such as purples, creams and soft yellows too. To accentuate the colour of your pink roses, add in some striking white flowers to contrast against the warm pink hues.
If you’re creating an all-rose bouquet, layer different shades of pinks and reds together for a loving monochromatic arrangement. A rose delivery like this is sure to make a friend or family member feel special.
