Just for you, some roses from my garden visits and just for fun the meaning of roses.
The meaning of colour:
* Red: Red is the symbol of love. To give red roses says "I love you still"
* White: Shows purity and innocence. They also represent humility, youthfulness and charm.
* Pink: To give pink roses shows grace, joy, and gratitude. Pale pink also has the meaning of fun attached to it.
* Orange: Desire and enthusiam. These would be a great choice to give to someone if you want the relationship to develop further. Lilac and Lavender roses also show these feelings.
* Yellow:Joy and friendship - yellow roses don't specifically show love. They can also represent starting over,or a new beginning. Yellow tipped with red shows friendship falling in love.
What the number of roses means:
* 1: Love at first sight - you are "the one"
* 2: Mutual love and feelings
* 3: Also says "I Love You".
* 7: Together for ever
* 10: Represents perfection. To give someone 10 roses shows you feel that way about them.
* 12: The standard for "be mine". Often given on Valentines day, when for a married couple,actually 7 or 10 might be a better choice. (slightly cheaper as well! ;-)
* 13: A sign of enduring friendship
* 15: Im sorry
An finally:
* To give a mix of red and white roses. This shows unity, and togetherness.
* Pink and red rosebuds. Young and lovely...perhaps the perfect gift for a young lady?

I haven't been anywhere much today but roses have cropped up, not surprising. But nobody has done it this way.
Good post.
These roses are perfectly beautiful! Thanks also for the language of roses - I've never understood it before.
My Mum always told me never to mix red and white flowers together for some reason. I can't remember exactly why but it was something to do with death.
Calum had some photos of Tibetan Poppies. Amazing beautiful flowers, and I've never seen them before.
Red roses are a favourite I hae to admit.
Rose petals are eaten in India in the form of dish called as Gulkan
hot water plumbing
And the pink rose means, "Please believe me."
the secret language of roses... lovely.
Funny though, I recently got a pink rose from a argetinian guy who was in town,a friend of a friend. I wonder if he knew what he was saying, i sure didnt.. until now that is ;)
I had read about the meaning of the colours of roses but this is the first time I have ever seen this about the number given.
Thanks for sharing.
Mr. Linky has gone incognito it seems so it is taking me longer to *find* everyone this week.
Bear((( )))
What a lovely post and such lovely flowers too.... I was given a red rose once over 20 years ago and i still have it dried and pressed in a book...
Beautiful. I seem to have problems with your blog layout. It looks tiny to me
Aileni - Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Dragonstar - I rather liked the numbers explanation, I had not seen that before!
Ginro - I am not sure I like that thought of mixed roses... Is there I link to Calum's post?
Babooshka - I like them too.
Bhavani - Thanks for the information, I didn't know that.
James - Yes it does and I do :-)
Crashie - I hope you liked what he was saying ;-)
Bear - I have not seen the numbers before either. Thanks for persevering on the visits :-)
Sally - That sounds lovely and romantic :-)
Jams - Oooh! Tell me about my layout. It looks the same as it always has to me and identical to most other blogs.
I haven't changed anything apart from the comments page...
Would like to investigate to see if something needs fixing!
I have a much easier idea, lol. If you do a Google Image search for Tibetan Poppy...
In fact...Tibetan Poppy Image
I love blue flowers.
I just realised that link only gave a tiny version of the picture so here's a better link (fingers crossed, lol): Tibetan Poppy
What does it mean if you get sent only the thorny stem of a rose? :-)
Prob what the NHS hierarchy would send me. Either that or anthrax.
Ginro - Thanks for that, it is beautiful :-)
Calum - I much prefer the thornless variety ;-)
I also think I am gathering up some NHS stories of my own!
Oh that pink one's the one for me!
Liz - It is lovely isn't it?
R is for restful.
Sean - :-)
