Rose Day History

Rose Day, seeks to promote the expression of love, gratitude, and affection towards one another as individuals exchange roses with their loves, friends, and family members. Symbolizing varying emotions--from love to friendship--roses take centre stage on this special day, allowing people to share their feelings with others through the delicate beauty and fragrance of these flowers.

The concept of Rose Day can be traced back to ancient Rome, where roses held significant importance in the celebration of Goddess Venus--the deity of love. As the Roman Empire expanded, it not only introduced the rose to conquered regions, but also rooted the flower deeply into the fabric of European customs and culture. Roses became an essential part of festivals and ceremonies, encapsulating an array of emotions throughout history. The modern interpretation of Rose Day, now an integral part of Valentine's week, was popularized in India as an adaptation of western Valentine's Day tradition.

Rose Day typically marks the onset of the week-long Valentine's celebration across India and several other countries. Although not officially recognized as a holiday, it is celebrated with immense enthusiasm by individuals, particularly by the younger generation. It occurs on February 7th each year, paving the way for the ensuing celebration of various emotions connected with love, culminating in the globally recognized Valentine's Day on February 14th.
