Valentine Day 2026:

Valentine’s Day 2026: As soon as the month of February arrives, the fragrance of love starts spreading all around. Red roses, romantic songs and heartbeats speed up. We are talking about Valentine’s Week, which starts on February 7 every year and ends on Valentine’s Day on February 14. This romantic week starts with Rose Day, when people express their love through rose flowers.

When is Rose Day 2026?

This year Rose Day will be celebrated on 7 February 2026, which is Saturday. On this day, loving couples will get an opportunity to spend the entire weekend together and celebrate this special day. Flower shops will be filled with roses of red, pink and other colors.

Why does the week of love start with roses?

Rose is considered a symbol of love. Valentine’s Week starts with this flower because the beauty, softness and fragrance of rose brings freshness and positivity in relationships. In the 19th century, the practice of floriography (language of flowers) increased, in which flowers were used to express emotions. Rose got a special place in it.

It’s hard to use words in early love, so a rose acts as an ‘ice-breaker’. It explains what is in the heart without speaking. Roses symbolize the beginning of love, which gradually grows throughout the week and reaches its peak on February 14th.

Meaning of different colors of roses

The choice of color is important on Rose Day, as every color expresses a different emotion:

red rose – A symbol of deep love, passion and romance. This is the most classic option, which is used to say ‘I love you’.

pink rose – A symbol of appreciation, gratitude, tenderness and the beginning of new love. If the relationship is new or you want to convert friendship into love, then this is the right option.

white rose – Symbol of purity, innocence and new relationship. Suitable for new relationships or platonic love.

yellow Rose – A symbol of friendship, happiness and desire for happiness. It is more suitable for friendship than romantic.

Orange Rose – A symbol of enthusiasm, energy and attraction. If there is a new crush, this is the perfect choice.

Rose Day is not only a day for lovers but also an occasion to express feelings for friends, family and special people. Nowadays people also give chocolates, cards or small gifts along with roses. So, this year on February 7, take the first step of love by giving a beautiful rose to your special someone.
