Lilac Rose

Lilac roses are one of the rarest and most sought-after colors in the rose world. This shade, somewhere between lilac and purple, is always noticeable when sent as a gift because it is rarely seen in nature. It is the preferred choice for those who want to step outside the classic colors and "not send the same flower everyone else sends." In Heryerbitki's lilac rose collection, you can find bouquet and arrangement options.

What does a lilac rose mean?

The most well-known meaning of a lilac rose is admiration at first sight. It conveys a sudden attraction, enchantment, and the feeling of "I've never seen anyone like you" towards someone. Besides this, it also carries elegance, mystery, and delicacy. Because the color is rare, it also signals that the sender has made a thoughtful choice.

What sets lilac roses apart from other shades of purple is their softness. While dark purple roses appear more majestic and distant, lilac tones are more inviting and warm.

To whom are lilac roses sent?

Preserving the Freshness of Lilac Roses

• Change the vase water every two days, refreshing it before it starts to become cloudy.
• Cut the stems at an angle; the larger the cutting surface, the easier it is for the flower to absorb water.
• Remove any leaves that are submerged in the water, as they will rot and breed bacteria.
• Keep the vase away from direct sunlight, radiators, and air conditioning drafts.
• Light-colored roses show signs of wear more quickly; carefully removing the outer petals when they fade will refresh the bouquet.
