    I think I'm posting in the right forum, I have a really important funeral to go to and I've heard that different colour roses have different meanings eg.. red for love etc..
    I would like to have a rose for the person in question that is not too personal as I wasn't in love with him but he was a very good friend, maybe yellow or white but I'm not sure what to go for.
    Can anyone give me some ideas? It would be much appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Yellow rose are for friendship aren't they ?
    Or, you can't really go wrong with white.

    Why not just ask the florist...?

    Why say something useful or don't say anything at all...?

    seemed like a reasonable suggestion to me - florists know about these things. If it was me I'd ask a florist...

    Have to agree on the florist, if they don't know in fairness
