June Gift Flowers
Like carnations, roses, which represent June birthdays, have different meanings for different colors. During the Victorian Era, flowers played a role in communication between the sexes. “The Language of Flowers” outlined what each flower represented. In those days, flowers were the equivalent of a text today.

Red roses signify passion and love. They have long been a favorite Valentine’s Day gift in the US as well as birthdays and anniversaries.
Yellow roses indicate anything from jealousy to friendship.

White roses represent loyalty, purity and innocence. They are popular flowers for wedding bouquets.
Orange or apricot roses mean desire and enthusiasm.
And nothing says the gifts have to be cut flowers. Consider giving a rose bush so the gift keeps on giving.
Regardless of the color, roses are a special gift for any day of the year.
