i like red or pink

Oh Shirlene...I just love true pink and also yellow roses. I was at Lowe's this week and I literally had to stop and smell the roses.LOL They were breathtakingly beautiful and smelled just as nice!

Red and dark purple....

Red or Yellow are my favourite coloured roses. But then and colour rose is beautiful. Marg

I love the dark red as in "Mr Linclon" love to see them when they are finished....soozie

It's hard for me to imagine a rose color I wouldn't like. However, certain designs may look better in one color over another!

I am not a pastel person, so I tent to love vivid shades. I think my sorority rose was the jacoment rose. what ever that was. I have been working on a Mary Kay cosmetics rose for a customer which is a pink rose. What do you have in mind?

We were at a gardern center and saw a blueish violet rose, it was very different and my daughters liked alot, can't remember the name tho, I like yellow best myself. Good luck!

Shirlene, what is your favorite?

Personally I love all Yellow roses, but I do have a soft spot for the Applause rose (1) and the Blue moon rose(2). I love any of the blue/purple roses that are being bred. Love and blessings Chris

Shirlene, I use to raise roses and I had a rose that was red inside the petal and white/silver on the outer side and it was to die for......too bad the soil where I live now will not grow roses like that.....
but that would be hard to pull off in an embroidery rose but knowing you......you could figure it out....
I also like yellow roses.....what is your favorite?

Peachy color is my favorite

The pale pale pinkwhite of the wild rose on the old grey mountain outside my window but the yellow-peach-pink kind on my breakfast table. Lovely question by the way ;-D Peggy

Yellow is my favorite, thanks for asking

That deep coral that smells so wonderful!!!!!!

I think the Peace rose is beautiful. It is a deep yellow with coral edges.

Normally red is my favourite colour but today I like yellow.

I can't give you a favorite color because when it comes to roses which are my favorite flower I like red, pink and yellow but I guess deep red would have to be my pick.

Roses are my favorites:
I have collected some pretty colours esp for roses.
I have 3 diff shades of pink, and 3 shades of blue and so on.. Then to stitch them out I study the design to see what the digitizer did with her shading and then go according to where the darker shades are to be. I can then change the same rose design into different colour schemes I like.

Ps pics of my quilt in progress all the flowers are done similar for this quilt

Any colour that looks real!

There are so many shades between pink and red, some are just so beautiful!

Shirlene Yellow for friendship is my most favourite. Then i love the deep velvet red for love. Combined together what more could a girl ask for :)

I love roses of all kinds ...deep golden yellow to midnight colors..I especially like the varigated varieties... yellow with red streakes running through them and thewhite with red streakes....

I love all rose colors but, I carried on my wedding day coral roses, (some call them salmon) and they are beautiful. I am also very partial to the red rose. When I first started dating my husband he brought me 1 red rose each date until I had 12 long stemmed roses. That was 12 days in a row.

When I was a child, my Mom had a Peace rose bush; it's a yellow rose with peachy pink edges. Our 'job' was to pick off the Japanese beetles, during the summer months, to keep the blossoms from being devoured.
Hugs,

I realy love the color like the one on Jacquelines picture!so delicate!

Roses are special in my family , my grandmother loved yellow roses, my mother loved pink wild roses, my dad transplanted some from the woods to our backyard as a surprise gift for her. Me, my favorite is called feista, it starts out dark pink and as it opens up it turns yellow with pink edges, so i get both pink and yellow roses in memory of two special ladies in my life.

A very pale yellow, almost cream with pink edges would be my pick shirlene, My roses are allready bloomed & the storm & rains have caused all the petals to fall so have no good picture./Lillian

Yellow or peach.

my favorite are yellow ,red and bright pink.

Yellow and red. Yellow for friendship and red for Love.

Red is my favourite colour.

I like all colors But if I had to pick one it would be yellow.





red
There’s nothing secret about the red rose’s symbolism of love. Valentine’s Day would hardly exist without this bold and dramatic bloom. The ultimate symbol of romantic love and enduring passion, the red rose also conveys respect and the creative spirit of love. Representing true love stronger than thorns, the red rose is known universally as the lover’s rose.

white
Representing, humility, purity and innocence, the white rose - often referred to as the bridal rose - is associated with young love. In Scotland, when the white rose bloomed in autumn, it was seen as a token of early marriage. Also symbolizing truth and reverence, it sends a message of loyalty and says "I am worthy of you."

yellow
While in Victorian times, the yellow rose symbolized jealousy, today it represents friendship, joy and caring. A bouquet of these sun-filled blossoms conveys warmth, gladness and affection.

pink
Symbolizing gentility, femininity, elegance and refinement, the pink rose also carries additional meanings depending on its hue. A deep pink conveys gratitude and appreciation, while pale shades connote grace and gentleness, admiration and happiness.

orange
With their warm, vibrant tones, orange roses symbolize enthusiasm and desire. If you’re looking for a way to express admiration and attraction - with an underlying message of passion and excitement - then send a bouquet filled with these fiery blooms.

lilac & purple
Thought to be almost mystical in nature, with symbolism tied to enchantment, desire and even proceeding cautiously, it’s not surprising that lilac and purple roses send a message of love at first sight, A great Valentine flower.

multi-colored roses
In some instances - usually when mixing red with another color rose - you can send additional messages with your choice of bouquet. For example, a combination of red and yellow roses conveys gaiety and happiness, while a mix of red and white roses symbolizes unity.

black is my first choice and yellow is my second!!carolyn

Hi Shirley, I love white roses.For embroidery I would go for white and pink mixed. Hugs Yvonne

I love the deep,dark red and my DH used to grow one that was called Stirling and it was a lavender blue,it had the most wonderful scent, so that would be second tied with white...I love white roses.

I say a peachy color or orangy and then I see one in another color and ohhhh so pretty - it's very easy to change what is your favorite when there are so many varied colors and one just as beautiful as the next - but red at the bottom of my list.

reds, yellows, lavendars all are beautiful, hard to choose a favorite.

I like shades of yellow.

I love almost all kind of roses. I love especially dark red roses, almost black, that look like velvet. But I like these too, white with red edges.Hugs! Nini

Thank you one and all - I loved this post - I hope you enjoyed it, too. You are each as lovely as each rose that you described to me. Unconditional Love, Shirlene

Here they are... You can see I've several colours, all lovely!....

Hi Shirlene - I like to use a range of 3 or 5 threads in the same tone for roses, deep centres, pale outer petals to dark edges. Mostly I use pinks ranging to burgundy, lavender-mauves/purple, yellow-golds/copper. Just about anything goes.
It also depends on what colour fabric I'm embroidering and for what reason.
I like to really make a crazy statement with roses and their colours. I think God would approve because He does the same thing.

AlmaG.

Dear Shirlene, my favorite roses in my garden are the red ones, dark and deep red,with a great scent. But, when I make embroidery I find only many different shade of colours thread in the pink. I have found not enough different threads in red, a little better in yellow. And you Shirlene what do you do?

When I choice some new roses, I choice by their smell and their shape more than their color.
But If I look at the color, I choice pink roses.
Love Cathie

Good morning, Shirlene. My favourite rose is yellow. Hope you and Rick are have a great Sunday. It is raining here and very chilly. No flood though, I feel sorry for the people in the southern states and in Manitoba Canada. We can handle a couple of days of rain. Take care, Hugs Lynn

My neighbor just finished the roses set that was featured in a magazine this month inside an applique frame and on the collar. She used a medium yellow for the roses and the outlines were a peachy pink. I was impressed at how beautiful the colors were. I am going to try some that color.

Marcelle

My favorite color is yellow the most and pink.Thank you for asking. What favorite colors is your or if your ????????? Maria

I love them all. Especially the yellow or the peachy coral ones. I will share something that happened to me. I bought a yellow climbing rose that was yellow. The first two years it bloomed yellow. Then last year it was a pale pink. It now has blossoms on it and I am anxious to see what it does this year. I did not know they changed colors like that. Hugs, Mary

It was a set called 'Roses In the Mirror' from Madsen Originals. She came over with the magazine for me to help her order it. She doesn't do very well with buying and downloading on line so I help her with it. It was a magazine that I do not receive but I think it may have been Designs in Machine Embroidery. The set was featured in an article in the magazine.

She made a white blouse and put the small rose designs on each side of the collar. On the top of the back part of the blouse she used the large rose design inside the frame. She used white organza just like the picture shows on the website. She called me this afternoon and said she has it almost finished and will bring it over when it is completed. It is an unusual set of designs. Here is a link for the set.

Yes, it is nice to have a neighbor that shares my interests. She just got a new BabyLock serger that threads itself for her birthday. I am envious. We also share a close birthday. Mine is May 26 and hers is May 28. Our mother's had the same first name too. How odd is all that. She has a fantastic sewing room that is huge.

I will try the link again in a little different way. If all else fails go to the Madsen Originals website and search on rose. The Roses in the Mirror link will come up for you to open.
