According to fossil records, roses have been around for 35 million years. Good thing - if you know your love will enjoy a life span comparable to that of the rose, Valentines roses are your best bet when it comes to selecting that perfect Valentine's Day gift.
Actual garden cultivation of roses began about 5000 years ago in China. In ancient Rome, roses were grown in the Middle East for use as confetti, medicine and perfume. Public rose gardens were also created by Roman nobility for people to enjoy. In the 17th century the demand for roses grew to such heights that rose water was used as legal tender and for bartering. But it wasn't until the late 18th century that cultivated roses (the ancestors of our modern day roses) were introduced into Europe from China. Now roses (including Valentines Day Roses) can be found almost anywhere you look - from the grocery store, to flower shops, to personal gardens.

History of Valentine's Day from Rose Farm Buy Farm Fresh Grower Direct
February 14th, the holiday of Love! Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. Who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
Most scholars believe that the St. Valentine of the holiday was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. During this time around 270 A.D., emperor Claudius ll prohibited marriages for young men, claiming that bachelors made better soldiers.
Valentine continued to secretly perform marriage ceremonies but was eventually apprehended by the Romans and ordered by Claudius to be put to death.
Another legend has it that Valentine, imprisoned by Claudius; fell in love with the daughter of his jailer who visited him during confinement. Before he was executed, he allegedly sent her a letter signed "from your Valentine" an expression that is still used today. We could say this marked the first Valentine’s Day.
Probably the most plausible story surrounding St. Valentine is one not focused on Eros(passionate love) but on agape (Christian love): he was martyred
