Do you see the world through rose-colored glasses? Traditionally this saying was used to someone who sees only good things around them, blissfully unaware of any problems to describe. Roses actually come in a variety of colors, so you could wear a set of yellow or blue rose colored glasses and experience a completely different set of emotions than with the traditional red or pink lenses.
Throughout history, roses have been given every conceivable opportunity, and this largely symbolic gesture has continued to evolve in meaning and tradition. Give the wrong color rose and you could socially ostracized, well, probably not, but it never hurts to be aware of the symbolic meaning of the roses you send.
