Valentine’s Week has began and February 7th marks “Rose Day” a day dedicated to expressing emotions through roses. Whether it's love, friendship or admiration each rose colour has a unique significance. Choosing the right rose for your loved one can make the moment even more special.

The Story Behind Rose Day

Roses have been associated with love and beauty for centuries. Ancient Roman mythology linked roses to “Venus, the goddess of love”, while Greek mythology associated them with “Aphrodite, the symbol of beauty and passion”. In the ‘Victorian era (1837 - 1901)’ flowers became a secret language of emotions, with “Red Roses representing deep love” and “yellow roses symbolising friendship”. 

The tradition of gifting roses on February 7th is believed to have originated from the Victorian practice of expressing feelings through flowers, evolving into the “Rose Day” celebration we see today.
