Ludwigs October Rose Festival
On Friday the 2nd of October, ShowMe was invited to the launch of the October Rose Festival at Ludwigs Rose Farm which will go on until the 12th of October 2014.
The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends was brought to life in a room filled with roses arranged to create a fairy-tale world. What of the coincidence that Ludwig and his daughters resemble quite closely the characters of Elizabeth Gilberts book The Signature of All Things!
The roses of love glad the garden of life…
They are nature loving people more acquainted with cultivars who see roses as an essential part of existence that help us cope with our lives. Among the roses one spots vegetables, “we’ve started planting vegetables in the same soil as the roses because they can grow together and need the same amount of sun, said Ludwigs daughter.
The roses have names and on the day of the launch a pink and white rose was named Fragonara, we toasted to the naming and the rose sipped a bit of the champagne, “Roses love champagne too,” joked Ludwig and the room joined in laughter.
The roses of love glad the garden of life a Lord Byron said, surreal this experience has been, do not miss the October Rose Festival!
