Every year on June 12th we celebrate Red Rose Day. A day set aside to honor and celebrate the beauty of this iconic flower, Red Rose Day gives flower-lovers a chance to consider the ways that this beloved bloom has played a part in our lives.
A common symbol of love, the red rose has appeared in art and sculpture as well as flower arrangements for centuries. Red roses are popular in needlepoint and tapestry art also. The red rose is often used to symbolize passionate love, but it can sometimes represent hope, death, new life, and friendship.
Regardless of how it's incorporated into your life, the red rose brings beauty and drama to any scene. See more flower-themed art and home decor items here: https://wildlifewonders.com/flower-gifts/
