Thousands of roses were used to make special floral exhibits at the 11 th Annual Rose Show, which was inaugurated at the Government Rose Garden in Udhagamandalam on Saturday.
The most striking of the exhibits was a tree house made of more than 31,000 rose flowers that captivated the visitors. Other notable exhibits included floral arrangements resembling a piano, cartoon characters and an exhibit of 50,000 roses arranged to resemble a ‘ manjappai’ or yellow bag to raise awareness on the use of cloth bags and minimize the use of plastic bags.
The Department of Horticulture and Plantation Crops from various districts, including Tirunelveli, Tiruppur, Dindigul, Madurai, Krishnagiri, Erode and Thanjavur, had also set up exhibits at the Rose Show, which is being organised after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
