Maintaining a long-distance relationship has its ups and downs and pros and cons. While staying away from each other makes one value their relationship more, trying to take time to connect with each other in busy schedules and different time zones may require a little extra effort.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, the distance in a long-distance relationship feels more difficult and you might find yourself missing your partner even more. The celebration of Valentine’s week begins with Rose Day which falls on 7th February every year and marks the beginning of a week filled with romance. But many couples in a long-distance relationship often think of ways to celebrate Rose Day being away from each other.

Here are some romantic ideas for Rose Day to help you maintain the spark in your relationship.

1. Send a bouquet of Roses

Nothing beats the classic gesture of sending roses. Sending a bouquet of roses will always bring a smile to your partner’s face.
