I enjoy roses because my mother hated them. Her favorite color is purple, her most hated color is yellow.
My favorite flower - of course it's the yellow rose.
If you are into symbolism or other touchy-feely Hallmark wants to make money by giving everything significance kind of things, you'll know that roses have meanings associated with their colors.
I stole this from one of many websites about the significance of rose colors:
*Red* roses proclaim "I love you." They are the ultimate symbol of romantic love and enduring passion. Florists can't keep up with Valentines Day demand for red roses, which makes them especially expensive in February.
*Pale pink* roses connote grace, gentleness, and gratitude.
A joy to behold, *light pink* roses express fun and happiness.
*Deep pink* roses say "Thank you."
*Lilac roses* indicate the sender has fallen in love at first sight with the recipient and is enchanted.
*Pure white* roses symbolize truth and innocence. They also send other messages: "I miss you" and "You're heavenly."
*Coral* roses express one thing with their passionate color: Desire.
*Peach* roses speak of appreciation, gratitude, and also sympathy.
*Orange* roses communicate enthusiasm and desire on the part of the sender.
*Yellow* roses indicate friendship and freedom -- so don't send them if your intentions are romantic and long-lasting. Yellow roses are also appropriate for sending congratulations to newlyweds, graduates, Texans, and new mothers.
(I didn't even add the bit about the Texans here...)
*Dead* Roses -Regardless of the original color, dead roses say "It's over" loud and clear.
COMBINED ROSES
Put two or more colors of roses together, and a new rose meaning arises:
White Roses + Yellow Roses
A symbol of harmony.
Red Roses + Yellow Roses
A message of happiness and celebration.
Red Roses + White Roses
An indication of bonding and harmony.
So now you now more about rose colors than you wanted to.

A rose of red with streakéd white means "I came on the flower"
A rose of white with flecks of brown means "I ran out of wipes"
A rose of yellow, rimmed with soap means "I was in the shower"
A rose of pink, placenta-decked, means "I gave birth tonight"
