Roses are not only favored for their widely known symbolism of passion, love, desire, charm, and friendship, but also because of the great variety of colors, including fall hues that reflect the tones of the season. Orange and red roses are particularly versatile and pair seamlessly with almost every autumn flower, with brilliant hues bringing crispness and freshness into event florals.
