Love is in the air as the calendar turns into February. And rose—a symbol of love is medium to express your love. In Greeks and Romans mythology, a rose is connected with Aphrodite and Venus—goddesses of love. That is why Valentine’s week is kicks-off with Rose Day. While exchanging a rose with your love’s one, you also share your feelings and emotions. It not only might be your girlfriend/boyfriend, but you can also gifted to your friend, parents or anyone who are close to you.
