What's in a colour? Quite a lot, actually. We humans are blessed with the ability to distinguish between over 10 million colours, and we clearly associate some of them with emotions or states — red means STOP in a traffic light, yet we also associate red with hearts and roses. We respond to colour in many different ways.
The expression “when life gives you lemons” does not allude to the colour but to the sourness of the fruit — an encouragement to move on from a crisis with a positive attitude.
For our lemon-inspired roses we chose yellow: not precisely the colour of the fruit, but vibrant nevertheless. Some claim yellow makes us feel happier and energised. In Japan, yellow is associated with bravery; in some ancient civilisations, with the divine. Today, lemon yellow speaks of freshness — “out with the old and in with the new” — and the spirit of renewal. In other words: move on! Lemon yellow might mean something special to you too. Explore our yellow roses — available as our finest fresh Classic Roses® and our exclusive preserved Infinite Roses®, real roses that last for years without water — and choose one that resonates with you, or with someone close. For what every other shade says, our rose colour guide decodes the full palette.
