It's June and this month's birth flower is the rose. Here from ftd.com is a list of the color meaning of this awesome bloom.
When looking for the right gift for a special person, the giver may want something that not only looks beautiful, but sends a specific message. Whether the message is one of true friendship, or undying, unconditional love- when a gift should speak for itself, many seekers will choose a bouquet of fragrant, delicate roses.
Roses have always been the gift of choice for individuals looking to present a token of love and affection, without the receiver knowing the secret of who sent them. The flower name ‘Rose’ can be compared to the term ‘sub rose’ which translates from Latin to English as ‘under the rose,’ told in secret.
When choosing the right dozen roses to send to the person you wish to confide in, the color is the key. Each color rose stands for a different sentiment or emotion. The color you choose should clearly state the message you are trying to get across to the person you are befriending, courting, or flirting with.
The meanings of roses in bouquets of solitary colors.
Rose Color: Purple, Lilac
Meaning: The symbolism behind the purple rose is mainly one of enchantment. The person who sends a rose of purple or lilac hue cannot get the object of their affection out of their mind, and must tell them as quickly as possible that he or she is completely enamored.
Whether the enchantment is fleeting in nature, or something the giver hopes to be permanent; the purple rose stands for a desire so strong that it appears to have been caused by magic, such as love as first sight.
When sending a purple rose, the giver is stating that even without a guarantee of a long lasting relationship, the power the recipient has over their heart and soul is so deep that their desire for the object of their affection is taking over their every waking thought.

Once symbolizing jealousy in the Victorian era, and infidelity in German societies, the yellow rose now symbolizes friendship and caring.

The gift of an orange rose would peak the interest of any secret admirer. There is something alluring about the fire hued bloom that cannot be ignored.

A peach rose would show subtle connotations of the desire of a friend, coral would be a bit more direct, and bright orange would show an emotion as intense as the brightest sunset. Orange roses that are closer to peach in hue are often given as a token of modesty, due to their extreme contrast in brightness from burning orange. Coral roses do speak strongly of desire, but also show a subtle happiness and shyness.
Who to send this color to: The recipient of an orange rose is a person who captivates the sender. They find their attraction to be either overwhelming, or a bit embarrassing depending on their levels of modesty, but still wish to show the object of their affection that they burn for them (mildly or intensely).
Rose Color: White
Meaning: One of the oldest available colors of the rose, white, symbolizes innocence.
Often used in religious ceremonies and nearly all weddings, the white rose symbolizes purity and loyalty; an innocence that cannot be corrupted or soiled.
The white rose was the original color of rose to represent true love, due to the depiction of purity and innocence. True love was at one time considered to be pure, with no ability to be tarnished. To some, the white rose is still the ideal color to represent the deep, bottomless feelings of love.
Though the use of white roses in weddings is often the first use to come to mind, white flowers have long held a presence at times of grieving and mourning. Funeral arrangements often incorporated white roses to tribute the honor of a passed on loved one. White can also signify remembrance, and respect; two emotions often conveyed in times of mourning and sympathy.
Who to send this color to: A giver should send white roses to an object of affection that they find pure of heart and conscience.
White roses can also be sent to any couple for engagement, or to say congratulations for a happy, beautiful wedding. Sending white roses to a grieving friend in remembrance of their loved one is also appropriate.
The meanings behind rose color combinations
Not only do single color stems or bouquets hold a specific meaning. The same can be said for bouquets of roses that combine multiple colors. These bouquets can be sent for aesthetic purposes, but they can also be sent to display a variety of different emotions directed towards the receiver by the sender.
Rose Bouquet Colors: Red and White
Meaning: Harmony and unity. The flowers could symbolize a wish for the couple, or person, to experience a pure and passionate bond with their intended partner.
Rose Bouquet Colors: Yellow and White
Meaning: Harmony; A pure friendship. This bouquet could be sent to by a friend who wishes to apologize, or rekindle a once beautiful friendship.
Rose Bouquet Colors: Yellow and Orange
Meaning: Intense passion towards a close friend. Jealousy and passion directed towards a desired lover.
No matter what the occasion, there is a color or color combination of roses that is suitable. Whether sending a single red rose to represent love, sending a single pale rose to express thanks and appreciation, one dozen roses to show gratitude, or four dozen roses to express unconditional love, roses have been a time honored tradition to express emotions without worrying about finding the right words to do so.
Imagine a shy individual, completely taken by an object of their affection, but too shy to express how they feel. Roses give even the shyest person the ability to express deep emotion, no matter the situation, with a chance of receiving the same affection in return. Even those lacking social grace can express these sentiments without stumbling over words, blushing, or stuttering. Roses provide a confident way to speak from heart.
Whether the emotion is enchantment, desire, passion, gratitude, love, purity, or friendship; the rose says it all, with profound grace and a sense of delicate romanticism that has been written about and passed along for ages. Roses are the symbols of emotion that will never lose significance in society, and will be used to secretly express feelings for generations to come.
