Suri is the Persian noun (سوری) for red rose and the adjective for red.
In Persian, Suri is commonly used in reference to a celebration or a joyful gathering like a festivity. For example, the Persian holiday Chaharshanbe Suri literally translates to Red Wednesday. Chaharshanbe translates to the day "Wednesday", and Suri translates to the adjective red. Chaharshanbe Suri is held on the last Wednesday before the Persian New Year, also known as noruz.
