After Christmas and New Year, Valentines is the next big holiday!Red Roses is synonymous to Valentines.
Here's a short history:
Roses became popular at Valentine’s Day in the 17th century, with the popularity coming from the belief that the Red Rose was the favorite flower of Venus – the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty. From then on red roses is known as the flower of love and passion.
Another interesting "fact" about Valentines according to Wikipedia, go directly to East Asia
East Asia
Due to a concentrated marketing effort, Valentine's Day is celebrated in some Asian countries with Singaporeans, Chinese and South Koreans spending the most money on Valentine's gifts.[71]
In South Korea, similar to Japan, women give chocolate to men on February 14, and men give non-chocolate candy to women on March 14 (White Day).
On April 14 (Black Day), those who did not receive anything on the 14th
of Feb or March go to a Korean restaurant to eat black noodles (자장면 jajangmyeon) and "mourn" their single life.[72] Koreans also celebrate Pepero Day
on November 11, when young couples give each other Pepero cookies. The
date '11/11' is intended to resemble the long shape of the cookie. The
14th of every month marks a love-related day in Korea, although most of
them are obscure. From January to December: Candle Day, Valentine's Day,
White Day, Black Day, Rose Day, Kiss Day, Silver Day, Green Day, Music Day, Wine Day, Movie Day, and Hug Day.[73] Korean women give a much higher amount of chocolate than Japanese women.[72]In China, the common situation is the man gives chocolate, flowers or both to the woman that he loves. In Chinese, Valentine's Day is called (simplified Chinese: 情人节; traditional Chinese: 情人節; pinyin: qíng rén jié). The so-called "Chinese Valentine's Day" is the Qixi Festival, celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. It commemorates a day on which a legendary cowherder and weaving maid are allowed to be together. Valentine's Day on February 14 is not celebrated because it is often too close to Chinese New Year, which usually falls on a February or January.
In Taiwan the situation is the reverse of Japan's. Men give gifts to women on Valentine's Day, and women return them on White Day.[72]
In the Philippines, Valentine's Day is called "Araw ng mga Puso" or "Hearts Day". It is usually marked by a steep increase in the prices of flowers.
