Christmas RosesHave you given any thought, yet, to the kinds of roses you'll surround yourself with this Yuletide season? The original Christmas rose is an antique variety native to Central Europe, where it blooms in the deep winter. Also called the Snow Rose or Winter Rose, this pink-tipped white blossom is associated with faith, love, and devotion to Jesus Christ -- not all that unsurprising, since it appears during His feast season. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from purchasing any color of roses to serve as Christmas favorites. White roses in general are ideal for Christmas, but any other color can be used to enliven the season. Red, yellow, pink, green, even purple and blue will work -- though you may want to go with the traditional red and green. Christmas roses can be used for several purposes, but the main two are a) decoration and b) as gifts. A vase of roses, no matter the color, is going to add some life to your Christmas decorations. Imagine how impressed your guests will be when they realize you've managed to score live roses in the middle of winter! And have you considered the possibility of interweaving roses and pine boughs into a wreath for your door? How many other people in the neighborhood have thought of that? Sending a loved one or friend a bouquet of Christmas roses is also a great way to say, "I'm thinking of you," or, "I love you." Considering what they symbolize in the first place, white Christmas roses are perfect for a little sister or first love. Christmas is a great time to get romantic, too -- why not overwhelm your intended with roses? A dozen will show them you're interested; three dozen will show them you're theirs forever. Of course red roses are the most appropriate for the purpose, but roses of any color will smell as sweet. Some varieties can even add a touch of the exotic to your gift. Purple and blue roses offer a hint of mystery; orange and yellow roses express a touch of warmth; green is for fertility; and pink roses (especially the darker ones) convey your appreciation to the recipient.
