Saint Valentine of Rome was guilty of marrying forbidden couples, mostly soldiers. His martyrdom was widely recognised and honoured and thus began the celebration of romantic love.

A bouquet of red roses is all you need to declare your love for your significant one. These sweet-smelling richly pigmented flowers will convey your feelings that you have hidden in your heart for the longest time. Despite the rising popularity of other flowers such as daffodils, carnations, lilies and orchids, there is none like roses. It is no surprise that the first day of a Valentine Week is Rose Day.

Rose Day is celebrated on February 7 annually. It marks the beginning of the festival of love week. It is that time of the year when love is in the air, and people are busy buying these flowers in different colours to convey different feelings they hold for people. You can as many flowers as you want but make sure to hand red roses to just your significant partner (though, we are absolutely cool with how many significant others you have in your life, No Judgements).

In colleges, Rose Day is celebrated with a lot of fervour. You will see lovebirds all around you carrying a bunch of roses or a single rose, depending on how he or she wishes to celebrate the day. The purpose of gifting roses on Rose Day is to convey the person about your tender love and true feelings for them. And most importantly, what they should be looking forward to in the coming days of Valentine Week before Valentine’s Day finally arrives. We wish everyone a very Happy Rose Day 2019.
