Importance of roses in different cultures:
Roses were considered as the symbol of passion and mystery in Roman Mythology. If we take a look at the Eastern Civilizations, especially Asian and Arabic cultures, this flower is often associated with love. It is commonly believed that the first people to express their love by giving roses were the Victorians.
Week of love:
Rose Day, February 7, starts the week-long celebration of love that concludes with Valentine’s Day on February 14. Propose Day, Chocolate Day, and Teddy Day are celebrated on February 8, February 9, and February 10, respectively. While February 11 is Promise Day, February 12 is celebrated as Hug Day. On February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day, people celebrate Kiss Day.
