Planting 100,000 Rose Bushes at Jungnangcheon Riverside in Dongdaemun-gu to Create a Rose Garden

Dongdaemun-gu Plants 100,000 Roses of 14 Varieties Along 5.6km Section of Jungnangcheon Riverside to Create Large-Scale Rose Garden

Newly Established ‘Rose Task Force’, Installation of Rose Watering System, and Contracting Rose Maintenance Services for Systematic Rose Management

Bright roses and seasonal flowers are blooming along the Jungnangcheon riverside in Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung), attracting many visitors who enjoy walking there year-round.

As part of the ‘City of Flowers Development Project,’ the district planted 100,000 rose bushes of 14 varieties, including Standard Roses and Grande Classe, from the second half of last year through the first half of this year, creating a large-scale new rose garden along the Jungnangcheon riverside.

Currently, 430,000 beautiful and fragrant roses are in full bloom along the 5.6km stretch of the Jungnangcheon riverside.

The roses blooming now are ‘Four-Season Roses,’ which repeatedly bloom and wither. Considering the characteristic that roses bloom about 60 days after pruning, the district plans to carry out pruning during the summer so that the roses can bloom fully again in the fall.

Additionally, to systematically manage the large-scale rose garden, the district has increased on-site management staff by seven to establish a ‘Rose Task Force,’ and is making every effort for effective rose care by installing a rose watering system and contracting rose maintenance services.

On the morning of the 23rd, Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, who visited the Jungnangcheon Rose Garden, stated, “We will do our utmost to maintain the Jungnangcheon Rose Garden so that it becomes a beloved local attraction for residents,” and added, “I hope many people enjoy healthy daily lives while strolling through the rose garden.”
