World Rose Day is celebrated annually on September 22nd to raise awareness about cancer and to show support for cancer patients and their families. 

The day was founded in 2000 by Melinda Rose, a 12-year-old girl who was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Melinda wanted to create a day to bring joy to other cancer patients and to show them that they were not alone.

On World Rose Day, people around the world give roses to cancer patients and their families. Roses are a symbol of hope, resilience, and love. They are also a reminder that cancer patients are not alone and that there are people who care about them and support them.

In addition to giving roses, there are many other ways to celebrate World Rose Day. You can attend a fundraising event, participate in a walk or run for cancer, or simply raise awareness about cancer and the importance of early detection and treatment.
