[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] Seoul Grand Park announced on the 12th that it will renovate its facilities and showcase a variety of unique roses from around the world to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its 'Theme Garden.'

The Seoul Grand Park Theme Garden, along with the Children's Zoo, features various attractions according to themes, including the Rose Garden, Peony Garden, Rest Garden, Hometown Garden, and lakeside walking paths. Especially in early summer each year, the Rose Garden is filled with spectacular blooms.

This year, the Rose Garden Festival was canceled due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), but visitors can still see about 52,000 beautiful roses of over 100 varieties, including newly introduced species, in the Rose Garden. The first section, where young roses can be seen after planting new saplings, the rose tunnel filled with fragrance, and the premium garden tree 'British Standard Rose' harmonized with French lavender create a serene lakeside atmosphere that evokes a thrilling feeling of summer.

The Seoul Grand Park Rose Garden was established in 2000 and is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. This year, the worn pavements and infrastructure of the Rose Garden have been renovated, and 7,220 rose plants of varieties such as 'Rose d'Ch?tellet,' 'Dame de Coeur,' and 'Queen of Rose' have been newly planted, allowing visitors to experience a younger and more vibrant Rose Garden.

Along the 300-meter fence section leading to the Theme Garden, climbing roses such as 'Scarlet Meidiland,' 'Angela,' and 'Harugaze,' planted last year, bloom in clusters, creating a splendid rose walking path.

If you want to experience the roses filling the Theme Garden in person, you must wear a mask and strictly follow COVID-19 prevention guidelines such as using hand sanitizer, frequent hand washing, and proper coughing etiquette when visiting. Even if you cannot visit in person, you can enjoy vivid photos of the roses on the Seoul Grand Park website and blog, or watch beautiful videos by searching for 'Seoul Grand Park TV' on YouTube.
