The latest seasonal display at the Gardens by the Bay’s Flower Dome places the elegant rose front and centre.
Until July 20, visitors can enjoy the colourful sight and pleasant fragrance of more than 15,000 roses from 65 varieties. Highlights include the Rosa Marchenzauber, which boasts creamy white petals and an apricot-pink centre. This rose, which some rose enthusiasts have dubbed “Fairytale Magic”, is said to have a sweet and fruity scent.
The Rose Deep Love, meanwhile, carries a dark raspberry pink hue and double the petal volume of the classic roses.
The flowers will be accompanied by displays of items with meaning and significance in British history and culture, such as a replica of the Caernarfon Castle in Wales, which is a Unesco World Heritage Site. – Yamini Chinnuswamy
