Send yellow roses to Brighten Up someone's day; to congratulate your friends and loved ones during joyous occasions.
In the Victorian times, yello roses meant Jealousy. But today, they signify friendship, joy, gladness and freedom, the promise of new beginning. The color yellow has been closely associated with the Sun. As the source of light and warmth, the sun is integral to life on Earth, and has been worshiped in many early societies. It should come as no surprise that the color of the sun would hold many positive connotations. In Europe, yellow roses were long used as a symbol for jealousy and dying love.
A bouquet of yellow roses now brings to mind all of the sunny, cheerful feelings of warmth and hapiness. In contrast to the romantic meangs attributed to other roses, the yellow rose is purely a symbol for friendship. This gives it a unique place in the pantheon of roses. Yellow roses can send the perfect message of appreciation and platonic love without the romantic subtext of other colors. They can represent feelings of joy and delight, and are an ideal way to brighten someone's day who may be feeling down. There is perhaps no other flower that is able to bring out a smile in quite the way that a yellow rose can.
