Flourishing at a glorious pace, the show has increased its number of exhibitors, events and attractions as it draws in more and more visitors each year, which peaked at an amazing 25,000 visitors in 2011. Green is no longer just a color. It is synonymous with behavior; a new way of living. We all have to input our green initiatives, not only to save the planet but also to make our daily life healthier and much better and brighter. Being green is about saving water and energy, changing the way we take care of our house and garden, growing more of our own food and creating beautiful landscapes with less water-quenching plants. It is for these reasons that the theme of this year is “The Green Attitude”. This attitude is an attribute which can be applicable to each and every one of us and in all domains of our life, and especially in the arena of outdoor living. The 9th edition of The Garden Show & Spring Festival promises to build upon its previous successes and keep on celebrating and enhancing the great Lebanese Outdoor Way of Life, thus creating a greener Lebanon. Each year this vibrant and happy event is eagerly awaited by all. It is a five-day event that is not to be missed.

Why a BEIRUT ROSE? Beirut used to be the Garden city, quite a long time ago… But until today, in Beirut each parcel of land left alone starts blossoming with all kinds of wild plants. Life always finds its way as Beirut always reborn. Molded in history, Beirut faces the Mediterranean and has proudly proven over the centuries her perpetuity, her courage and her love of life to her inhabitants and the rest of the world. To celebrate this unique and cherished city, the Garden Show & Spring festival is offering the Beirut municipality a rose called “The Beirut Rose”. This rose is from the French rose producer “Meilland” and will be available in its catalogue all over the world. (Refer to Meilland history and presentation) The Godmother of the rose is Ms Tania KASSIS Being the Agent of Meilland in Lebanon, and owning one of the most Innovative plant- nurseries in the Middle East, Robinson Agri will display a stand at the show to sell the rose. For all Beirut lovers Beirut rose will be also available at the nursery. Planting of Beirut Rose will take place on May 30, 2012 at 11 am at Martyr Square Eco House In collaboration with Sponsored by Adopt a green attitude, save on energy bill and reduce your carbon footprint!

    G6600 Roses: Selecting and Planting | University of Missouri Extension http://extension.missouri.edu/publications/DisplayPrinterFriendlyPub.aspx?P=G6600 University of Missouri Extension G6600, Reviewed October 2004 Roses: Selecting and Planting Chris Starbuck and Mary Kroening Department of Horticulture Roses are one of the world's most popular flowers. Their beauty and delicate fragrance have universal appeal. Roses are well adapted to many different environmental conditions. They are useful for cut flowers and many landscape effects. Since they are the product of centuries of breeding and selection, many shapes, forms and colors provide endless types to select from and use. The many types of roses available offer selections for almost any situation. Hybrid tea, floribunda and grandiflora are the most commonly planted types. These require a rather vigorous pest control program to maintain them in a vigorous, productive condition. Shrub and species roses require little or no pest control. Once they are established they grow and flower for years with very little attention. Different types of roses are described here and a few varieties highly rated by the American Rose Society are suggested as an aid to the beginning rose grower. Varieties are listed by major color or as blends. Blends are those varieties with flowers that are not a solid color. At all stages of flower development, the hybrid tea rose provides classic beauty with universal appeal. 1 of 18 3/1/2011 3:42 PM G6600 Roses: Selecting and Planting | University of Missouri Extension http://extension.missouri.edu/publications/DisplayPrinterFriendlyPub.aspx?P=G6600 The hybrid tea rose Broadway Hybrid tea The most popular of all roses today.

It was used as a symbol on coins in central Asia as far back as 4000 B.C. Although usually thought of as a plant for temperate regions, the rose thrives in a wide variety of climates in Hawaii. The pink rose, commonly grown at Kilauea on Hawaii, has long been known as the "volcano rose" (Loke-o-ka-Iua-Pele). Other old-fashioned types are the cabbage, moss, damask, and brier roses. Early missionaries brought damask and brier roses, typified by the flower of Maui,"Lo­ kelani," a deep pink fading to pale pink and almost white. Most of the older types are distinct species rather than hybrids that commonly are planted today. In our warm climate at sea level, roses grow and flower throughout the year.
