Rose, Rose I love you.

Hello folks ! Today is Valentine Day.  Love and kisses to all my readers and friends. Mind you, if you sent three roses to a friend, it symbolizes your love. Three roses mean I Love You.  Ow, it is a bit playful  as I am well over the hills. But, there is nothing wrong by telling people that you love them.  There are many kind of love. Fatherly love, caring love, friendly love and the true love. The deepness of the love varies from different person to person. Some is 100% love, some 80% or 50% and the degree of love will be adjusting time to time depending on our emotions.

Normally, roses are red, violets are blue. During Valentine Day, not all the flowers should be roses and different flowers carry different meaning. If you are not aware of the implication, please ask your florist.  Don't use your own imagination because there is a norm and it is embrassing if you sent the wrong message. In Japan, the customs is to give different kind of gifts. Some people give underwears, white chocolates , handerchief , flowers, etc to sent their indiviual message to their peers , boss and friends. 

Valentine Day is a creation of the big business people and their intention is to make profits and in some advance countries, it has been over commercialized. This special day carries the similarity with Christmas  and it is wrong to understand this way.  It has no religious bearings  but a way  or an occasion to express your love and care for another person.  It is a cross culture and border less as love goes , Rosemary goes....a true love has no hidden agenda and limits.  Open your heart and feel the love in the air... does GOD come into the picture ? No. Love is just love. Spread your wings and fly into the horizons with love in your heart as out there, there is someone waiting for your love and care.

So, much for the talks  and this is the guidelines for the valentine colors :

Valentine roses:

• Red means romantic love (the "Valentine roses," par excellence).
• Purple, coral and orange challenge red as the color for Valentine roses. The rose color meanings for these 3 are as follows:
• The specific purpose of purple roses is to signify that the giver has fallen in love with the recipient at first sight.
• Meanwhile, coral signals desire.
• And orange roses, along with apricot, connote enthusiasm.
• The meaning of yellow roses is joy and friendship.

• We express our gratitude and appreciation with pink roses....
• While feelings of admiration and sympathy find words with roses that are light pink in color.
• Peach is more ambiguous, as it can signify either sympathy or gratitude.
• White roses the meaning of reverence and humility.

Namaste.
