During the last week of September members of Golden Rose have visited the Rose Museum in Sint-Pieters Leeuw. This event was organized in the framework of the project ‘Exploring the Brussels Periphery’.
The participants were amazed by the 3000 various roses, in the rose yard, coming from 25 different countries. The sunny weather and a slight breeze made the trip more pleasant since the visitors were overwhelmed by the wonderful smell of the roses.
The yard consisted of 5 sections, that is the red-white rose yard, the Flemish rose yard, the old rose yard, the international rose yard, the rambler rose yard and the Japanese rose yard. In the old rose yard more information was given on the history of the rose. Furthermore the origin of the roses were explained to the visitors, especially the origin the ones produced by the most known producers in Belgium.
The last part of the visit consisted of tips on how to plant a rose on your own yard. The Rose Museum trip lasted for about an hour and half.
