Red roses mean romantic love; they're 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 and orange roses signal desire.
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.
Their purity naturally enough lends to white roses the meaning of reverence and humility.

Maybe after you read the meanings, you will be able to choose something that makes you think of your Grampa.

White.
Consider a traditional origami Crane.

The colors have different meanings based on who you ask . . . but more often than not white indicates meaning of reverence and humility, or pink expresses gratitude and appreciation.
I think either of these would be nice.
Or depending on your beliefs, perhaps green, which indicates a feeling of joy and optimism (that you'll see him again)

White because it represents the purity of the love of a child for their parent or grandparent.

White- for the purity of your love for him. And all the rest of the colors- for the hopes and ambitions he instilled in you and to show your respect for his doing so. My sincere condolences to you and your family. uhoh002
