Sending pink roses is a venture of sweet possible meanings. The rose is visually compatible with many colors, yellow or white, for example - with their own shades of pink ranging into salmon.

The shade of the petals does play a role in their meaning, though not so commonly known, with the lighter tones acting as symbols for gentleness, grace, joy and admiration. Noteworthy are qualities of the small buds of the Evelien rose.

At the other end of the sprectrum, darker shades call in elements of gratitude and thankfulness. They have come to be popularized as thank you gifts.

Middle-of-the-road versions of pink have been known to be associated with happiness.
