First, from May 10 to 18 and on May 24 and 25, for a total of 11 days, citizen rose docents from the Rose Lovers Association will conduct guided programs at the Yeongildae Rose Garden, introducing different rose varieties and their stories.

The guided tours, which run from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., can be joined by signing up at the event booth without any prior registration.

The rose docents will not only explain the characteristics of each rose variety, but also share the process and significance of how Pohang became a city of roses, serving as ambassadors to promote the rose city.

In addition, the children's rose experience program "Walking on the Flower Road," which has been held annually since 2021, will be held again this year.

From May 12 to 23, about 400 children from 20 local daycare centers and kindergartens will participate, taking part in activities such as rose path walks, flower breeze games, and making rose handkerchiefs, allowing them to see, touch, and experience roses firsthand.

Shin Kangsoo, head of the Green City Project Division, said, "The rose docent program was planned to introduce the charm of roses to both tourists and citizens, and to share the city's identity and beauty through roses," adding, "In particular, I hope that both domestic and international visitors to Pohang during the World Green Growth Forum period will also be able to experience the city's charm amid the scent of roses."

The city is continuously promoting various rose planting and management projects to improve the cityscape and foster emotional well-being among citizens, and plans to further strengthen the status of "Rose City Pohang," a city enjoyed by both citizens and tourists.
