The much-awaited month of love February is here and so is the weeklong festival of love, Valentine's Day! The Valentine’s week begins with the much-awaited Rose Day, which is celebrated on 7th February every year. This day marks the beginning of Valentine’s week and as the name suggests, the occasion is all about giving roses to your loved one and conveying your true feelings to the person.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Interestingly, if you carefully look at the word ‘rose’, the letters can be rearranged to form the word ‘Eros’, who is called the God of love. And hence, Valentine’s Week begins with this day where people gift roses as a token of their love.

Giving a rose is the perfect way to express your love without doing much talking. The flower of different colours imply different things and in case you are not sure which colour means what, we will break it down for you:
