WELCOME TO THE WORLD FEDERATION OF ROSE SOCIETIES

WELCOME TO THE 21st WORLD ROSE CONVENTION 2028 – BHOPAL – INDIA
7th to 13th January, 2028
It is our pleasure and privilege to invite you all to the 21st World Rose Convention hosted by MP Rose Society, from 7th to 13th January, 2028 in Bhopal. The city itself is a combination of new and old-world charm and is enshrined in the antiquities of time with legends of the begums and its rulers. It keeps pace with modernity while nestling in the lap of natural hills and beautiful lakes, a unique city in the heart of the Indian sub -continent. The convention will showcase the city and its sites but will not go away from the main objective of having renowned speakers bringing the flavor of Roses from different parts of the world. We already have a detailed program prepared. So, make up your minds to explore the mysteries, tales, cultures, traditions, heritage, food, flora and fauna of India through the Pre-Tours and Post Tours. We are sure that all the delegates will enjoy the Convention and the experiences will be etched in their memories for many years to come.
