From May 10 to 15, the city of Mentougou in Beijing is awash with vibrant colors and enchanting fragrances as it hosts the 9th International Rose Conference and the 12th China Rose Exhibition. The event brings together rose enthusiasts, horticulturists, and cultural ambassadors from around the globe to celebrate the universal beauty of roses.
The exhibitions feature a stunning array of rose-inspired cultural products and internationally themed gardens. Visitors can immerse themselves in diverse floral landscapes that reflect different cultures and artistic styles, highlighting how the rose serves as a common symbol across the world.
A highlight of the event is the “Flower Young Life Festival,” a dynamic celebration aimed at young people. The festival combines music, art, and interactive experiences, encouraging youth to connect with nature and embrace cultural exchanges through the language of flowers.
“Roses have always been a bridge connecting people from different cultures,” said an event organizer. “Through this conference, we hope to foster international friendship and understanding, especially among the younger generation.”
The event not only showcases the thriving flower economy in early summer but also emphasizes the role of roses in promoting global connections. By uniting participants from various countries and regions, the conference underscores how a shared appreciation for natural beauty can transcend borders.
As the petals unfold in Beijing, the International Rose Conference and China Rose Exhibition invite visitors to experience a world where cultures blossom together, rooted in the timeless allure of the rose.
