June 12^th is National Red Rose Day! A well-known symbol of love in addition to being a beautiful and fragrant flower, it’s no wonder that Red Rose Day is such a popular occasion. Celebrating the many facets of the rose, Red Rose Day is a time for gardeners, florists and romantics to come together and enjoy the rose in all its splendor. Red Rose Day gives fans a chance to see roses at their best, blooming in glorious abundance at the height of the season.

There are many ways to celebrate Red Rose Day, so why not take some time to enjoy this special occasion? You can visit a rose garden where exotic species are showcased, or (if you have one) spend some time in your own garden. Perhaps you can prepare a special meal to enjoy while taking in the fragrance of red rose blossoms.

Red roses were used in many early cultures as decorations in wedding ceremonies and wedding attire. It was through this practice that, over the years, the red rose became known as a symbol of love and romance. Today, the tradition is still practiced of giving red roses as the strongest message of love.

• In June, red roses are in bloom in flower gardens across the United States and their beauty and sweet scent fill the air with happiness.
