Today is: Rose Day
Rose Day is the first holiday during Valentine's Week, a week dedicated to love that leads up to and culminates with Valentine's Day. It is a day for sharing love by buying roses and giving them to loved ones, especially to a significant other. Sometimes roses are paired with chocolate, candies, or cards with a message of love. Any number of roses may be given — one rose or a dozen roses are common.
As different colored roses hold distinctive meanings, different roses may be given depending on who the recipient is. A red rose symbolizes love and romance and may be given to a significant other. A yellow rose symbolizes friendship and is usually given to friends. A white rose symbolizes innocence and purity.
