It is heard (as per the Greek Mythology) that  Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love had created Red Rose. But how?

It’s known that the flower grew from the ground that got watered with Aphrodite’s tears and the blood of her lover Adonis.

In fact, there is another interpretation of this Greek Mythological reference by some Greek historians. It states that once Cupid had accidentally shot an arrow into a rose garden, after getting stung by a bee. This caused the roses to grow thorns. Later, when Aphrodite walked into the forest, she got pricked at her foot by a thorn. Hence, she started bleeding and that blood turned the roses red.

Hence, this Rose Day is celebrated all across the world on the 7th of February annually, which rather kick start Valentine's week. Lovers celebrate this day with great enthusiasm and joy.
