I realize that those are the official meanings, but are those the meanings that you (plural, general, inclusive) associate with those colors of roses?
before this I thought only the red ones meant something serious, like one was when you are dating and a dozen was wanting to get married or already married.

Wouldn't know...I've never recieved anything of that nature, which is just as well as I think that red is overused.

Yeah, I used to think things like that, for example, that if a guy were to give me roses, it would mean that he really and truly loved me and was probably going to propose...but then no guy ever gave me a rose until after I'd had 4 kids (and it was a creepy married preacher trying to seduce me! ick!).
