Rose is the word for red in Spanish, Portuguese and French.
For centuries, red roses have had a symbolic place in various cultures and regions around the world. The most common symbolism for the red rose is romance, love, respect, and beauty.
Red roses are one of the most popular flowers that are often gifted to people during holidays like Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. In Ancient Rome, the red rose was the symbol for Venus or Aphrodite, and in Ancient Greece, these beautiful flowers were seen as a luxury item, available only to the royals and the rich. The motif of the rose as something of an exotic item that evokes beauty, royalty, and love is something that writers, poets, and painters make use of even today. In the history of culture, it would be difficult to find another symbol that has remained as popular and enduring throughout the ages. Today, red and white roses are two of the most used rose varieties, as they are the symbols of love and new beginnings. Apart from this, though, there is an array of roses of different colors and shapes that are grown all over the world. The simplistic beauty of a red rose, however, remains quite unmatched.
We celebrate Red Rose Day in the perfect month of June where red roses bloom across the many flower gardens in the United States, adding to the beauty of the land. Read on to know more about Red Rose Day.
