Every year, the city of Grasse honors the queen of flowers by organizing Expo Rose, the largest European exhibition of cut roses. For a few days, the Côte d'Azur capital of perfumes is adorned with thousands of roses and offers many activities around this flower.
The Côte d'Azur capital of perfumes, Grasse is also the place where the delicate Centifolia rose is grown, used by the most prestigious perfumers.
It was therefore only natural that the city of Grasse pay tribute to the rose by dedicating an annual event to it. Expo Rose has been the meeting place for all rose enthusiasts since 1970.
On this occasion, rose professionals (designers, distributors and producers, horticultural organizations) offer the public several days of festivities around the queen of flowers. Not only is the city adorned with thousands of roses displayed in bouquets of 60 to 300 flowers, but it also hosts various events in its historic center and in different exhibition areas.
