Mark your calendars! Every June 12th, we celebrate National Red Rose Day. This day isn't just about appreciating the stunning beauty of red roses. It's a chance to honour their enduring role as a symbol of love, passion, and everything beautiful. But red roses are more than just pretty faces - they also boast a rich history and cultural significance that we can explore and appreciate.
In the US, June 12th blossoms with National Red Rose Day. The exact beginnings of this celebration are a bit of a mystery, but most believe it sprouted sometime in the early 2000s. It likely drew inspiration from two sources: the age-old love affair with red roses and Valentine's week, which features its own Rose Day on February 7th.
The red rose itself boasts a rich history, its presence documented in ancient civilizations from Egypt to China. It also found its way into European stories and poems. But it was the Victorian era, in the 19th century, that truly saw the red rose take centre stage. During this time, people used elaborate flower arrangements, often featuring red roses, to secretly convey messages of love and admiration. This association with romance was further solidified by famous poets like Robert Burns and William Shakespeare, who wove red roses into their works.
