What is the meaning of a white colored rose in the language of flowers?

Answer 1

As a florist i was asked this question often. Many diferent sorces will give you many different answers.
there are 4 basic colors; red, yellow, pink, and white.
what color is more perfect to apply to a wedding than white? well becuase of this many sources will tell you that a white rose is somehow conected in some way or another to a happy marrage. what bride dosnt want that?

i was taught the following;
red: love/ passion
yellow: friendship
pink: happiness/ joy
white: forever/ pure

if you are asking because you are planing on giving roses and would like to know the meaning before they are received, please rember that it is more imortant to pick out what looks apealing or simply colors that person would like. the meaning given to that flower isnt set in stone, it can mean whatever you want it to mean.

i personally love white flowers, manly because i like simple looking arangements. i cant stand red roses. i would be much happier receiving white roses from my lover than red. even happier to receive orchids.
you dont have to worry about silly meaning if you get a few stems of those.

also when purchasing roses you will want to lightly squeeze the bulb of the rose. the harder the bud is, the longer it will last. if the bud seems hollow they will die within a couple days. if it is rock hard and the water is changed regularly it can last a couple weeks.

Answer 2

A white rose means 'I am worthy of you'. I found this in a book I bought some time ago at a car-boot-sale: the title of the book is "The Language of flowers"First published in Great Britain by Michael Joseph Limited, 52 Bedford Square, London WC1 in October 1968.
Second impression January 1971. Third March 1974. Fourth January 1976. Fifth August 1977. copyright by Margaret Pickston. ISBN 0 7181 0593 1. Printed by Beric Press Ltd, Crawley.
A brilliant little book, worth getting a copy of if you can.
