Organised by the Bulgarian Embassy in Vietnam, and various other agencies and organisations, the event aims to mark the 68th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Bulgaria.

The Bulgarian Embassy in Vietnam has co-operated with the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to import 1,000 rose trees of more than 100 different varieties from Bulgaria. The rose trees are being taken care of at a ministry institute.

Many kinds of roses will also be brought to the festival.

In addition, visitors will have the chance to see special products made from roses, such as a rose street, a rose house and a European garden.

Lots of activities such as an Ao dai fashion show and voting for the nicest rose tree will be organised along with art performances.
