Graduation Flowers: What Are the Best Ones

Graduation is an exciting time for any student as they finish one chapter in their life and move on to the next. While there will be lots of smiling faces and well-wishes during the ceremony, putting together a celebration afterwards is also important. Flowers are a traditional way to say "congratulations" and "good luck" to a graduate. Here are 7 flower options often used for graduation and what they mean:

Roses

Roses come in many colors so you can pick one that matches your graduation colors or personality. Red roses specifically mean respect, admiration, and love. Since graduation starts with new possibilities, red roses can mean respect for accomplishments and hope for the future. Roses also mean beauty, which fits with graduation.
