Moments — well it's Valentine's Day again...
Just to be clear, this is not about me piling onto the anti-Valentine's Day sentiment that is out there — I believe that love is probably the greatest human pursuit we have going and I support it in all its forms (even if sometimes it's represented by overpriced meals and twenty-five dollar roses).
This is about roses, and not the twenty-five dollar kind — it's here that I ask you to indulge me for a moment.
My experience over the years has me looking at roses by colour because, believe it or not, colour does matter when it comes to roses. I have simplified it in my little boy brain and it goes something like this — a red rose means love, a white rose means worthy of love, and a yellow rose means friendship (or out of love)... so if you are a purest (and put stock in this) you never really want to get a yellow rose unless everyone involved has an understanding of said friendship status.
I have always been partial to the white rose because it's a reminder that we are all worthy of love, and that this great pursuit comes in so many shapes and sizes. I will also say, I've always liked the way the great Louis Armstrong symbolically said it —
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you
I think this is pretty much all I have to say on the topic of roses... except maybe to also say, "If you are gonna give roses, just give one."
Symbolically, it's the only way to go!

Thanks for the comment Brian McKenzie... you are right... my interpretation is from my "little Canadian bubble" — an important point to remember because this is a big, big world with different ways of doing things. I didn't know that about flowers and even numbers... I will add that to my limited flower knowledge base.
