World Rose Day is celebrated annually on 22 September to encourage and acknowledge cancer survivors all over the world. Cancer is one of the chronic diseases that is the cause of millions of deaths globally.

People suffering from this debilitating disease often lose hope and courage to live. Hence, World Rose Day is observed to support and motivate all cancer patients to fight back and come out as strong survivors.
 
Every year, World Rose Day for Cancer Patients is recognised under a specific theme. The theme of World Rose Day 2022 has not been announced yet.
 
History : World Rose Day commemorates Melinda Rose, a 12-year-old girl who was diagnosed with Askin’s Tumour, a rare form of blood cancer in the year 1994. After her diagnosis, Melinda Rose was asked by doctors that she could survive only a week but due to her courage, will power, and desire to live, she survived almost 6 months post-cancer diagnosis. During her cancer journey, Melinda Rose wrote poems, wishes, and messages for other cancer patients as a gesture of hope. Hence World Rose Day 2022 is a symbol of hope for cancer patients.

This year, World Rose Day 2022 falls on Thursday, 22 September 2022..
