Know your flowers
White roses meaning
White roses can carry different meanings depending on colour, occasion, and the relationship. Use the symbolism as a guide, then make the message clear in your card.
Editorial guide
Read the meaning in context
White roses may suggest love, respect, friendship, remembrance, or celebration, but the same flower can feel different at a wedding, wake, office, or home delivery.
Use colour carefully
Colour often changes the message. In Singapore, it is worth thinking about family customs, religion, workplace setting, and whether the gesture should feel festive, romantic, formal, or quiet.
Let the card help
A short card removes guesswork. Say the reason for the flowers plainly so the recipient does not have to read too much into the bouquet.
