Already in the times of the fortress, the roses grown on the fields of the City of Luxembourg and its surroundings were exported all over the world. Up to 10 million plants left the rose gardens of Luxembourg every year to bloom in the princely, royal and presidential parks, among others. Many rose varieties of the time bore the names of crowned heads of state, presidents, celebrities, as well as members of rose-growing families.

Organized by "Patrimoine Roses pour le Luxembourg" asbl, its president, Dr Claudine Als, presents the rich history and fascinating anecdotes about the cultivation of roses in Luxembourg.
