An orange rose

I remember, years ago, reading a poem about how red roses are for passion, and white roses are for committed love; so the ideal rose for a relationship is one that’s mostly white but with a blush of red on the tips of the petals.

That may be ideal for some people! But I would hesitate to claim it works best for everyone.

Today I was thinking about how my favorite roses are the ones that look like this. I have one as the background of this website, in fact.

Yellow, but with a goodly amount of red as well.

A yellow rose is for friendship.

This, to me, is the ideal relationship structure.


A close friend made this quiz for thinking about your relationship, as part of his work as a therapist. It can either be for analyzing an existing relationship, or for thinking about what your ideal relationship would look like. Anyway, I think it would work pretty well to visualize it with different rose colors, or with a full-om Tussie Mussie.
