Jang'an-gu Creating Specialized Rose of Sharon Street

(Jang'an-gu) District Office (District Chief Hong Sung-kwan) announced on the 7th that it will create a specialized Rose of Sharon street in front of the Jang'an-gu District Office and at the entrance to the pine tree area so that citizens can view the national flower Rose of Sharon year-round and be reminded of the importance of national pride.

In addition, 1,600 Rose of Sharon trees of various varieties, including the Baedalgyae cultivar as well as Danshimgyae and Asadal cultivars, will be planted, and 32 potted plants will be placed along the roadside to provide citizens and students who pass by an opportunity to easily encounter the Rose of Sharon by showcasing the maintenance process.

Following the nationwide Rose of Sharon Festival held in Suwon last year, 60 potted Rose of Sharon flowers were placed along the roadside in front of the Jang'an-gu Citizens' Hall in August and September, which received positive response, and this year Suwon has been confirmed as the host city for the nationwide Rose of Sharon Festival.

A district official stated, "We will transform the space where citizens breathe together, not only the beauty of our country's indigenous flower that blooms and falls for more than 100 days, but also the strength and persistence that represent the spirit of our people."
