Pink roses represent youth and beauty. We make a girl's dream come true and present the fifteen most beautiful types of roses from rosé to pink.
Tender, fairytale blossoms or brightly colored eye-catchers - pink roses (Rosa) are a real all-rounder in the bed and, alongside the red rose varieties, are one of the absolute favorites in the garden. The pink roses are particularly popular because of their pronounced variety, which leaves no variation between small dwarf and large climbing roses, delicate rosé and intense fuchsia. Here we show you which pink rose varieties are among the most beautiful of all.
Roses (Pink) are naturally red? This is a common misconception - in fact, the original color of the queen of flowers was most likely pink. Even today, many wild roses such as the dog rose (Rosa canina) or the wine rose (Rosa rubiginosa) still appear in a delicate shade of pink and among the cultivated roses there is also an almost immeasurable selection of pink varieties. No wonder, when you consider that the pink beauties not only impress with their appearance, but also with their versatility: pastel-colored varieties enchant with their dreamy, almost fairytale charm, while brightly colored variations are wonderfully suited for modern accents in the garden.

Symbolic meaning of pink roses
The red and pink roses have a few things in common, not only in terms of color but also in terms of their meaning: both obviously stand for love and are often given away as a sign of deep affection. However, since the pink rose is much more delicately colored than its sister, it is usually associated with young love, which is still in its infancy, and is therefore a great gesture for couples who have just fallen in love. The individual shades of pink also have different meanings: pastel nuances stand for beauty and respect, while a darker pink symbolizes gratitude and appreciation.
