Red Rose Day

Hi,

Today is red rose day. It's all about the love and romance today.



Red roses have been cultivated for over 5000 years ago in China. Red roses in Greece and Rome were a luxury item for a long time. 

For a while, roses were used in the medicinal and religious purposes.

Although the Rose did loose popularity in europe when Christianity became a more known religion.

The best way to celebrate is to buy yourself or somebody else some roses and you could even plant some in your garden.

Did You Know

That the phrase sub rosa, meaning secrecy, comes from the practice in ancient Rome of leaving a rose outside a door during a confidential meeting? The Rose indicated that those in the room did not want to be disturbed.

Also, it is world meat-free day today. So why not for dinner - lunch - breakfast eat some vegetables and meat substitutes.
