A Timeless Celebration of Love, Friendship, and Meaningful Connections
Rose Day is the start of Valentine’s Week, celebrated each year on 7th February. The day is dedicated to expressing feelings through the timeless rose. Roses can show romantic love, friendship, gratitude, or admiration. They speak a universal language that words sometimes cannot express. From lovers and friends to family, Rose Day offers a simple yet meaningful way to show appreciation and affection.
History of Rose Day
Giving roses is a tradition that goes back thousands of years. Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians admired roses. In Greek mythology, the rose was associated with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Romans connected roses to Venus, adding to the flower’s romantic meaning.
Rose Day, as part of modern Valentine’s Week, gained popularity in the 20th century, especially in Western cultures, before spreading worldwide. Over time, it became the official opener of Valentine’s Week, setting the tone for the days that follow—Propose Day, Chocolate Day, Teddy Day, Promise Day, Hug Day, Kiss Day, and Valentine’s Day. Today, Rose Day is a global symbol of love, connection, and emotion. People of all ages and cultures celebrate it.
