A case for a white rose

Rose is king of flowers especially on valentine's day.
No other flower sells more than roses on this day, in
particular red roses. Well i was wondering what makes
red roses so special on valentine's day, researching
on this topic I learnt that each color has
significance and is given accordingly. let me list out
the usual suspects.


Red roses mean romantic love - they're the "Valentine
roses," par excellence.

purple - signify that the giver has fallen in love
with the recipient at first sight.

coral,orange - desire

yellow - joy and friendship.

pink roses - gratitude and appreciation

light pink in color - admiration and sympathy

Peach is more ambiguous - either sympathy or
gratitude.

white - purity,reverence and humility.


This is one of the definitions for colors . Each one
has slight variation. So i tried further research to
find how these colors got associated with. There is no
definite answer or definite time in history. I think I
can explain 2 important colors red and white.

white - which has been used by sages,nuns,angels and
color of peace will lead to its usual meaning of
purity.

red - signifying color of blood and inturn ultimate
sacrifice (to give one's blood) may signify that
person is willing to sacrifice anything for love.

very noble thought and giving a meaning to each color
is a clever idea of some businessman/merchant. I would
like to add a scientific meaning to this color story.

Assuming each color has a meaning and scientifically
the color you see is the color that is getting
reflected. so if you see red then object is absorbing
all colors except red. Now lets take yellow for
example, its made of red and green, so it should mean
combination of whatever red and green means maybe
martian love?

Finally to rest my case, which is the noblest of all
colors ? white !!! (for people slow up there - white
reflects all colors so it means you are everything to
me).

Hale white rose - King of roses on valentine's day
.... any day !
