By Laurent Duval, MonacoViews Editorial
The 8th International Competition for New Roses invites the public to have their say by voting for their favourite entry.
The Principality's rose calendar has reached one of its most anticipated moments, with the 8th Concours International de Roses Nouvelles de Monaco now open for a public vote. Residents and visitors alike are being asked to cast their preference for the finest new rose variety on show.
The competition has become a fixture that brings serious horticultural interest to Monaco each year, drawing breeders from across Europe and beyond who submit their newest cultivars for judging. The public vote adds a democratic dimension to the professional assessment, giving the wider community a stake in the outcome.
If you have not yet had the chance to see the competing roses in person, do so before casting your vote — the entries reward close attention, and the differences between varieties are often more striking than photographs suggest.
