Colors and meanings
[edit]I removed the following section, because it has no source and is counter to heraldry as I understand it. I am fairly certain that specific heraldic colors almost never have specific meanings, and that most attempts to do so are fairly artificial. After looking about in Google, I can in fact find several sites that assign completely different meanings to these colors.
“ | The colour of the rose may indicate its meaning. A red rose may be symbolic of martyrdom, a white rose expresses faith, and a yellow rose is a symbol of achievement. Roses can be found in all natural colours, in addition to black, green, and blue. | ” |

The link 'damask rose' just redirects into a botanical article with no heraldic content. Misty2misty (talk) 16:31, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
