Rose Day

If there is anything on the Rose that can personify together the delicate beauty and strong passion of the ethereal emotion of love, what’s better than a crimson rose?

Well, the Valentine’s Day is not the only occasion to celebrate love. The Rose Day marks the beginning of the valentine week. It is the day on which roses are given away to the loved ones to make them feel special and convey the message which words fail to frame.

February is the love month and it is not limited to Valentine’s Day alone. The festival of love begins with the Rose Day on 7th February, then on 8th of the February month is the Propose Day, Chocolate Day is on 9th Feb while it is Teddy Day on 10th Feb. 11 Feb is the Promise Day, Hug Day and Kiss Day on 12 and 13 February follows thereafter. This is really a beautiful chain of cycle delineating love’s timid progress.

Different Colors of Roses on the Rose Day

If you want to shower your beloved some different expressions of love than the traditional red rose which in a way has become cliché of the expression, you should be well aware about the messages that the colours of those specific roses convey. You should not give him/her a wrong message in the pursuit of being different! Here’s a list:

• White - True love, purity of the mind and reverence
• Pink - Grace, gentle feelings of love
• Dark Pink - Gratitude
• Light Pink - Admiration, sympathy
• Pink and White Joy and Contentment
• Yellow - Friendship, celebration and joy
• Yellow with red tips - Friendship, falling in love
• Lilac - Love at first sight and enchantment
• Red - Love and passion
• Red and White together - Unity
• Coral - Desire
• Peach - Desire and excitement or appreciation
• Burgundy- Beauty
• Blue - Mystery
• Orange - Enthusiasm and desire
• Purple - Protection
• Black - "It's Over"

When you are in love, they say that every day is special. You do not just have to wait for the Rose Day to tell your love that he/she is the one for you. But when it is actually Rose Day, make it a bit special, mark it a little different from the rest, express and celebrate the love and affection with a budding blossom or a whole bunch. Most important of all, - don’t forget to whisper those enchanting words of love when you hand him /her the rose. That makes for a perfect Rose Day!
