"Heritage – Les roses du Luxembourg"

On Tuesday, 13 May 2025, the City of Luxembourg officially opened the outdoor exhibition entitled "Heritage – Les roses du Luxembourg" ("Heritage – Roses of Luxembourg"), which is on display in Place Auguste Laurent. The exhibition, which was spearheaded by the Lampertsbierger Syndicat, is part of the Luxembourg Urban Garden (LUGA) temporary exhibition. It illustrates the fascinating history of the rose industry in the Grand Duchy and Luxembourg City, which became known as the "City of Roses."

Through a series of thoughtfully crafted panels, combining text, period photos and old posters provided by the Lëtzebuerger Rousefrënn association, the exhibition traces the history of the famous rose-growing families that took up residence in Limpertsberg in the 19^th century. At the time, the district was already well known for flower cultivation, and especially roses, which earned Luxembourg an enviable reputation extending far beyond the Grand Duchy's borders. The exhibition pays tribute to this golden age of flowers, and highlights this extraordinary heritage, which continues to thrive today. The second part of the exhibition features creations by students in the Arts section – Section E – of the Lycée de Garçons de Luxembourg. In producing their works, the final-year students in the Arts section explored the theme of sustainability, envisioning "La Ville en Rose – plus verte, plus durable" ("A Greener, More Sustainable City of Roses").
