What colours of roses you think mothers love?
Pink. Different colors of flowers have different traditional meanings. Pink means loving affection, red means romantic or passionate love, yellow is what you give to someone who is a friend.
There are some colors of roses, and roses with more than one shade, that didn't exist when these centuries-old traditions arose, so you could also give your mother lavender roses or ones that have peach shading to pink, for example.
Other colors besides red and yellow that you should not use for your mother on mothers' day are solid white (it signifies virginal purity, which obviously she's not or you wouldn't be here) and dark purple (very rare anyhow, but flowers that color are too often used for funerals).
And you can ignore all this if your mother is not at all traditional and just pick out what you think looks prettiest.

What do red flowers represent on Mother's Day?
That you remembered Mom. Key word is red= remember. Actually, each flower has its own meaning where the different colors are concerned
A white carnation, especially on Mother's Day, represents purity for example. A pink carnation means gratitude or "I'll never forget you." A red carnation expresses admiration or could signify my "heart-aches for you" and a purple carnation shows capriciousness. Solid colors say, "yes", while striped carnations say "no" and express a refusal. Sometimes the meanings are conflicting, since striped carnations can, also, mean "sorry I cannot be with you", "I wish I could". A yellow carnation means rejection or "you have disappointed me". Mini carnations mean pure love or "my heart yearns for you". Whatever message you send with a carnation, a splendid aroma will accompany it.
