National Rose Month

It’s National Rose Month! Roses have long been used as symbols of love, beauty, war, and politics throughout history. Their beauty and underlying meanings make them the perfect addition to any bouquet.

History of National Rose Month

National Rose Month started in 1959 when efforts were made to make the rose the national flower of the United States. While National Rose Month started then, it wasn’t until 1986 that the rose was officially recognized as the national flower. This was due to President Ronald Reagan, who signed the resolution and proclaimed the rose as the national floral emblem of the White House. Since June has long been seen as the month for roses, especially with their popularity in weddings, it made sense for National Rose Month to happen in June.
