The celebration of World Rose Day is due to the story of Melinda Rose, a twelve-year-old Canadian girl who was diagnosed with Askin's tumor, a rare form of blood cancer, in 1994. Given a few weeks to live by doctors, the girl survived for six months. During that time, she encouraged other cancer patients by writing poems and letters filled with hope and happiness. In her honor, World Rose Day was started to spread awareness and courage among cancer patients.
