The Shanghai Chinese Rose Exhibition opened in the Chenshan Botanical Garden in Sheshan National Tourist Resort on April 30 and it is scheduled to run for one month.
Last year – at the 19th World Rose Convention held in Adelaide, in Australia – the Chenshan Botanical Garden's Chinese rose garden stood out from 12 rose gardens participating in the world and won the title of "World Excellent Rose Garden".
This is China's fifth rose garden to receive this honor and the first located in Shanghai.
The Chenshan Botanical Garden's rose garden covers an area of about 36,000 square meters and was opened to the public in 2010. May is the best viewing period for Chinese roses. Let's take a look at it!

Quick Fact
The Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden is located in the Shanghai Sheshan National Tourist Resort in Shanghai's Songjiang district and covers an area of 207 hectares, making it the largest botanical garden in East China.
The garden area used to be occupied by old residential compounds, rice-farming plots and a limestone cave before the local government in 2004 decided it would become a place to grow and study plants.
Today, Chenshan is a national 4A-level scenic spot and member of the international community of botanical gardens, as well as a leading facility dedicated to the collection, conservation and cultivation of plants in China.
It has a collection of more than 15,000 species and varieties of plants from 71 countries and regions, including some rare and endangered species. The plants are labeled with their names and identifying characteristics.
