"Friends of the Rose" LUXEMBOURG a.s.b.l. fondée en 1980 Member of the World Federation of Rose Societies The rose industry was quite important to Luxembourg from about 1855 to the start of World War II. After the war, however, the industry rapidly declined. In 1980, the "Friends of the Rose" association was formed to rekindle interest in rose growing by home gardeners. The Grand Ducal Association of the Friends of the Rose, anxious to celebrate the 150enaire roses Luxembourg, spent three years arranging the festivities around Luxembourg’s horticultural heritage and national culture. The 150 ans de roses luxembourgeoises (150 years of Luxembourg roses) project demonstrates that Luxembourg was an international rose capital, and aims to ensure that the mark left by its great rose growers remains a strong part of our local heritage.
