Psychologists call orange the color of happiness, joy and positive mood. Perhaps that is why many gardeners are staring at roses of this vibrant color. The number of varieties of roses known today is huge and among them there are many orange ones. If you take care of them correctly, orange roses will delight both the gardeners themselves and their friends and neighbors.
The first orange rose
It's hard to believe, but flowers of this captivating color have been known to florists and gardeners not so long ago. The first orange rose colors were presented to the public about half a century ago at an exhibition in Germany. That variety was named "Super Star" and was bred by Rosen Tantau.
The audience highly appreciated this masterpiece, which, in addition to its amazing appearance, also had a wonderful delicate aroma. The breeders received awards, and the orange color was the road to the world of roses. There are many names for this color in relation to colors:
- Salmon orange;
- Orange-scarlet;
- Cinnabar and others.
Today there are varieties that imply a heterogeneous color of the petals, and such flowers truly "play with all colors."
When is it better not to give red roses?
Red roses in bouquets from fans hint at an intimate relationship. A gorgeous bouquet of scarlet roses in the eyes of a young lady and her strict parents looks defiant. And an adult woman will hardly be delighted with a frivolous bunch of red roses on a first date. And for burgundy roses, you can even get a slap in the face: in the language of flowers, this portends a fleeting passion without obligation. If you don't want to be seen as an unceremonious insolent, don't rush things - start with chaste white roses and elegantly neutral pink flowers. Even in wedding bouquets, scarlet roses are present only in the form of accents. However, there are no rules without exceptions: one burgundy rose, as if thrown furtively, speaks of admiration for a beauty that is not aware of its strength. Also, do not give your female colleagues and business women mono-bouquets with red roses - why give a reason for gossip?

Of course, mistakes in the composition of colors are now much more tolerant than in the Pushkin era. Long gone are the days when overly frank hints in bouquets could be challenged to a duel. But the higher is the value of floral etiquette: knowledge of the intricacies of a romantic game favorably distinguishes a real gentleman from a shirt-guy and increases the chances of reciprocity.

What the color of the presented roses will tell you about
The shade of roses can tell a lot about the giver and his attitude towards the recipient of the bouquet. The meaning of colors depends on who they are presented to and by whom.
When the man presented the yellow
Without a doubt, this is a very controversial color. Many associate it with distrust and anxiety. Suffice it to recall the famous classic. Dostoevsky in his works often mentioned dirty yellow colors when describing interiors and people to show the hopelessness of the situation. However, it is also sunny, warm tones with a glint of gold, promising a comfortable existence.
If a person is unsure of himself, he should not be presented with such bouquets. The opinion is too firmly established among the people that yellow flowers symbolize gossip, betrayal and separation. The man who presented such a bouquet, without any doubt, is cheerful and open, capable of courageous deeds.
Yellow roses can indicate the following:
- established relationship: both partners understand each other, there is agreement between them;
- the desire to reconcile, forget about past grievances and disagreements;
- the importance of the person in the eyes of the donor;
- recognition and enthusiasm that never runs out.
If white is given to newlyweds or a girl
White roses presented to the bride indicate her youth and purity. With the help of such a bouquet, the solemnity and importance of the event is emphasized. There is no ambiguity in the snow-white composition.
Flowers presented by a guy to a young lady indicate the following:
- one rose - the young man is ready to idolize his chosen one, has the brightest feelings for her;
- lush bouquet - a man's readiness for a serious relationship, he expresses sincere love;
- with red border - striving for reconciliation. Often, such compositions are presented to their wives by guilty husbands who want to improve relations.
Snow-white roses are a good gift for a colleague or girlfriend. With their help, you can express respect, tell about your good intentions.
What do red, scarlet and burgundy mean?
The flowers presented in this case can be interpreted as follows:
- beginning to open up - the giver is afraid to talk about his feelings and expresses them with the help of a bouquet;
- one rose - the giver sincerely loves the person to whom the flower is presented;
- three - with their help, the spouse or lover indicates harmony in the relationship;
- five - the desire to get closer, to start a family;
- huge bouquet - marriage proposal.
If a guy gives a bouquet of black flowers
Not every woman is capable of appreciating such a gloomy composition, and in vain. With his help, the guy tries to say that he considers his beloved mysterious and beautiful, indicates her uniqueness.
True, presenting such bouquets should be done with caution. Too suspicious persons can misunderstand the gift. For many, black is associated with mourning, sadness. Perhaps the lady of the heart will consider that her chosen one, with the help of a bouquet, informs about a break in relations and a desire to avenge past grievances.
The rose is considered the queen of flowers. She is involved in the creation of many floristic compositions. And in order for the bouquet to carry the correct meaning, to talk about true intentions and feelings, you need to take into account the color of the buds, because each shade carries special information. If the choice is made incorrectly, the giver will be misunderstood. A gift may not bring joy and may even cause resentment or anger.
Care
The best time to plant an orange rose is in spring and autumn. However, in cold regions it is better to focus on spring, because temperatures are already too low in autumn.
You should buy seedlings in containers - there are much more chances that they will take root successfully and delight their owners with beautiful flowering and pleasant fragrance. they are planted by transshipment of an earthen coma. Already after 1.5-2 weeks, young roots are formed, after which a bush is formed.
Annual care for already planted roses is divided into work:
- Spring;
- Summer;
- Autumn.
Orange roses need the same care as everyone else.
At the end of March, the shelter under which they hibernated is usually removed from orange roses. If March does not please with high temperatures, then the procedure can be postponed a month later. At the same time, prophylaxis against all possible pests and diseases is carried out. You should also cut the bushes, remove weeds around them, and loosen the soil. After that, the supports are installed and the orange and tea roses are tied. If the seedlings were planted recently, then formative pruning should also be carried out.
The first flowering occurs in the summer.At this time, you need to re-process the bushes from diseases, as well as remove withered buds, regularly water, weed and loosen the earth. At the end of flowering, fertilizer is applied. Sick shoots should be cut off in time.
In the fall, the plants are prepared for winter. This means that you need to stop fertilizing and remove a third of the leaves, especially at the base of the bushes. When the temperature becomes subzero, sanitary pruning is carried out. By the end of October, the plants should be insulated and covered for the winter.
Tip: As soon as snow falls, it must be compacted near the rose bushes so that rodents do not penetrate them. An orange-colored rose must be protected from them, like flowers of other shades.
The orange rose is a wonderful garden flower. She will decorate it and become a real treasure, admiring everyone who sees her.
What is the meaning of pink roses
It has been noticed that a person choosing a bouquet is guided by his subconscious. Thus, the flower gift reflects all the secret feelings and thoughts that the giver cannot express in words. Therefore, the correct interpretation of the presented bouquet is so important. What matters is the number and size of flowers, the shade and degree of promiscuity of the buds, the combination of different plants in one composition.
If all types of scarlet roses speak of ardent sensual love, then pink roses are a recognition of deep sympathy, arising serious feelings. But certain shades of pink represent different shades of emotion:
- A delicate shade of dense, unopened buds - the girl's youth and innocence. With such a bouquet, they express admiration for the tenderness and freshness of the young lady. He also speaks of fresh, nascent feelings for the girl;
- A bouquet of light pink with one unopened bud in the center of the composition literally means: "I enjoy your beauty, but you are too young for me";
- White-pink flowers - means an expression of grace and gratitude, sympathy and admiration, pleasure and happiness;
- Dark pink roses (almost burgundy) - love, devotion, respect. Such bouquets emphasize the high status of the person being gifted. It is customary to present them to women in high positions, bosses. Such flowers can also be presented to a man who is a close friend. They mean gratitude for the fact that this person is on earth and in the life of the donor. Such flowers are appropriate as a gift for a mother or an older relative;
- Light pink roses of any shade with half-open buds are kindred feelings. They can be gifted to relatives and friends;
- Noble pink with a lilac shade - freedom, relaxedness and trust. In general, lilac and purple colors speak of some inconstancy, fanatical inclinations of the donor. But in the case of pink roses, it would be more correct to interpret the gift as an offer of love without shackles;
