  • Every September 22nd, World Rose Day is celebrated all over the world. This day is dedicated to cancer patients.
  • It is well known that cancer is one of the deadly diseases that have a major impact on the body and mind of patients. The stressful nature of treatment makes it very difficult for many patients and their caregivers.
  • Therefore, World Rose Day is celebrated every year, bringing joy to them, cheering them up, and reminding them that they are not alone in this battle.

History and Significance:

  • World Cancer Patient Rose Day is to commemorate Melinda Rose, a Canadian girl who was diagnosed with Askin's tumour at the age of 12, which is a rare blood cancer. The doctor said she only had a few weeks to live, but because of her immortal spirit and hope, she lived another six months. During this time, she encouraged other cancer patients by sharing poems, letters, verses, e-mails, etc.
  • At such a difficult time in your life, your kindness and hope provided inspiration for World Rose Day.
  • As mentioned earlier, the fight against cancer is an arduous and comprehensive struggle, which sometimes brings pressure to the physical and mental health of patients. As a society, it is very important for us to make their lives happy and cheer them up.
  • People present roses to cancer patients on World Rose Day. This day also plays an important role in spreading awareness of cancer and how early detection can help cure most cancers.

By offering roses to cancer patients and their caregivers, people expand their attention and show tenderness in the face of this serious disease. Unfortunately, medicine and science have not yet found an absolute cure for cancer. Although they have been committed to this cause, we can all help us understand their pain in our own way, make sure we care about them and do our part to help them grow so that they can continue to fight.

Hope this article is helpful for you.
