Carnations may not have the best reputation, but they do symbolize a great deal. Depending on the color, carnations have different meanings. White carnations signify sweetness and loveliness. Pink carnations are a promise to remember the other. Two-toned carnations are a symbol of parting, i.e. 'I cannot be with you.' Yellow carnations signify a disdain for the other, and a general dislike.
