A yellow rose implies jealousy and also infiedility. In India, the jasmine (scented white flower) is symbol of love. There are millions of men take jasmine flowers in the market while returning home to please their wives.
What other flowers in your country/area is treated as symbol of love? Are you presenting any flower, after all you are saying it with flowers?

Jealousy typically refers to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that occur when a person believes a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival. The word jealousy stems from the French jalousie, formed from jaloux (jealous), and further from Low Latin zelosus (full of zeal), and from the Greek word for "ardour, zeal" (with a root connoting "to boil, ferment"; or "yeast").
Jealousy is a familiar experience in human relationships. It has been reported in every culture and in many forms where researchers have looked. [1] [2] [3] It has been observed in infants as young as 5-6 months old and in adults over 65 years old. [4] [5] [6] [7]
It has been an enduring topic of interest for scientists, artists, and theologians. Psychologists have proposed several models of the processes underlying jealousy and have identified individual differences that influence the expression of jealousy. Sociologists have demonstrated that cultural beliefs and values play an important role in determining what triggers jealousy and what constitutes socially acceptable expressions of jealousy. Biologists have identified factors that may unconsciously influence the expression of jealousy. Artists have explored the theme of jealousy in photographs, paintings, movies, songs, plays, poems, and books. Theologians have offered religious views of jealousy based on the scriptures of their respective faiths. Despite its familiarity, however, people define jealousy in different ways. Some even mislabel it as being protective of something or someone, when the fact is, it's really simply possessive jealousy itself; and many feel they don't possess effective strategies for coping with this form of jealousy.

In my country peoples do take roses as a symbols for mainly loves and friendship. I think its not only in my country but most of the countries i the world will do the same...From what I understand peoples from India,Thailand and Japan were some of the countries that have a lot to do with flower especially on their religion's used. Its kind of very high respect to usesd a flowers in Budhist.
Honestly I took this from others and shares it here with you all who do love roses very much as I do:)"Roses have had meaning since the dawn of time. Everyone knows that a red rose is a symbol for love but did you know that when you give a bouquet of white and red roses, it means unity?
Read on to learn what your favorite roses mean in the very special language of flowers.
In Victorian times, suitors would present a bouquet to their intended that held much meaning once the flowers were looked at. These bouquets were called "tussie-mussies" and every courtship began with their presentation. The content of these tokens often changed as the relationship did until the bride walked down the aisle with the most meaningful bouquet.
Red roses say “I love you” and also stand for respect and courage.
Rosebuds symbolize beauty, youth and a heart innocent of love or: “You are young and beautiful.” Red rosebuds mean “pure and lovely” and white rosebuds signify girlhood or “too young to love.” The moss rosebud stands for confessions of love.
A single rose stands for simplicity. In full bloom, it means “I love you” or “I love you still,” and a bouquet of roses in full bloom signifies gratitude.
White roses have several meanings: “You’re heavenly,” reverence and humility, innocence and purity, “I’m worthy of you,” and secrecy and silence.
Red and white roses together, or white roses with red edges, signify unity.
Pink roses in general symbolize grace and gentility. For more subtle shades of meaning, choose deep pink to stand for gratitude and appreciation. Light pink conveys admiration and sympathy.
Yellow roses usually stand for joy and gladness, but can also say “try to care.”
Red and yellow blends stand for jovial and happy feelings.
Coral or orange roses denote enthusiasm and desire.
A deep burgundy rose means “unconscious beauty.”
Pale colors convey sociability and friendship.
Hybrid tea roses mean “I’ll remember you always” and sweetheart roses symbolize just what their name implies.
Two roses taped or wired together to form a single stem signal an engagement or coming marriage.
A full blown rose placed over two buds forms a combination that signifies secrecy.
Withered white roses have two meanings: fleeting beauty and “you made no impression.”
A crown made of roses signifies reward or virtue.
Rose leaves are a symbol of hope."

My dear friend,
Please read the mylot guidelines. You cannot just put one word and complete the response. You will repent later. I have received a number of personal mails, wherein mylot members have shown disappointment at their earnings. It is very less compared to their number of postings. But the reason being the responses are one word, two words, not even 1 line. It is therefore requested to write descriptive responses which are qualitative and meaningful and upto the point.

Very few responses received but one responder replied that “most of the girls like red rose”. Now I am watching your responses what the different type of people says about various kind of flowers.

There are hundreds of varieties of roses grown all over the world. In some countries, not only roses, other flowers too have some social significance. As you said red roses for expressing love.
Yellow roses for expressing friendship.
In India, Jasmine is presented to express the love (man presents women).

Red rose for loving the person soo much. Orange rose to become freinds. And there are always other flowers to express your feeling to the other person.
