Subject: a rose is a rose, less-known colors & their meanings


Although red is the most common color of rose given, there are many colors
with their own special meanings. The most common are:

   A PINK ROSE says "I like you."

   A WHITE ROSE says "Let's be friends."

Some of the lesser-known colors are:

   A YELLOW ROSE says "I'm from Texas. Wanna go roll in some hay?"

   An ORANGE ROSE says "I would be honored if you'd accompany me
    to the annual Halloween dance and dinner at the local VFW."

   A PLAID ROSE says "Let's spend a romantic evening in my basement
    eating Cheez Doodles and playing "Toss Across."

   A MAUVE ROSE means "I want to redecorate your apartment."

   A CLEAR ROSE says "Meet me by the concession stand at the NIN
    concert in a half an hour my little railroad spike of love."

   A FLORESCENT GREEN ROSE means "I'm so glad Cyndi Lauper has a
    comeback album!"

   A FLASHING YELLOW ROSE means "Proceed with caution."

   A GOLD ROSE says "I just made my fortune advertising O.J.
    t-shirts behind Robert Shapiro on CNBC. Wanna go out for
    chili-dogs?"

   A BLACK ROSE says "I'm sorry. I accidentally ran over your dog
    as it was lying asleep in your driveway. I sincerely hope this
    has no effect on our relationship as I would, in all likeli-
    hood never find another woman to date as long as I live. Due
    to my little acne problem. And the warts. Oh, who am I
    kidding? You couldn't possibly be attracted to a guy like me.
    It's the money, isn't it? Well, you can have all eleven
    million. I'll just be lying on the sidewalk in front of my
    12-story apartment building until the fine officers come and
    scrape my lifeless sack of bones from the bloodied pavement.
    Burn in hell, you bittttttt---"

   A PURPLE ROSE says "I like you a great deal, but my son is
    the heir to the throne and my mother, the Queen, probably
    thinks you're a slut. Not that we can't meet in this hotel
    room once a week.
