What That Rose Says About You

You want to give your sweetie a bouquet of flowers on Valentine's Day. That's a classy move. Think twice, though, before plucking any random bunch of blooms. If your special someone is among the thousands of searchers hitting the Web for "meaning of flowers," he or she may have a funny reaction to that clutch of striped carnations. (What you just said: "Sorry I can't be with you.")

To save you the horror of broadcasting the wrong message with yellow chrysanthemums ("slighted love"), yellow hyacinths ("jealousy"), or bright and shiny marigolds ("cruelty, grief, and jealousy," oh my!), we've paired the week's most searched-on flowers with their generally accepted meanings. Select with confidence...

  1. Roses - Love
  2. Orchids - A belle
  3. Iris - My compliments
  4. Daisies - Innocence
  5. Tulips - Declaration of love
  6. Calla Lily - Beauty
  7. Amaryllis - Splendid beauty
  8. Hydrangea - Heartfelt
  9. Anthurium - Hospitality
  10. Daffodils - Chivalry
  1. Chrysanthemums - Fidelity
  2. Carnations - Pride and beauty
  3. Lilacs - Youthful innocence
  4. Birds of Paradise - Joyfulness
  5. Tiger Lily - Wealth, pride
  6. Peony - Bashful
  7. Anemone - Anticipation
  8. Sunflowers - Pure thoughts
  9. Aster - Patience
  10. Gladiolus - Strength of character

When it comes to sheer flower power, the rose is the "American Idol," the Michael Jordan, and the Beatles of botany, all rolled into one sweet-smelling, thorny cache. No flower comes close to its popularity. It draws its own "meaning" searches ("rose color meaning"), cooks up its own candy queries ("chocolate roses"),and sprinkles the Search box with its velvety parts ("rose petals").

If you're thinking of a dozen long-stemmed messages de amor for February 14, here are the week's most searched-on types of roses and their secret meanings...

  1. Red Roses - Love and romance
  2. Black Roses - Vengeance
  3. Blue Roses - Mystery and intrigue
  4. Pink Roses - Gratitude and appreciation
  5. Purple Roses - Love at first sight
  1. White Roses - Innocence and purity
  2. Green Roses - Fertility
  3. Yellow Roses - Joy and friendship
  4. Lavender Roses - Enchantment
  5. Orange Roses - Enthusiasm, passion
