🌷 Scents, Thorns, and Drama at the Rose Court
When the roses bloom in June and their enchanting scent fills the gardens, it's rose time in Holzhausen. On Saturday, June 7th, at 19:00, a hilarious evening titled "Scent and Divas" awaits visitors in the Holy Trinity Church. You'll come across the Rose Queen, who presents her "floral" subjects with royal wit and self-irony, as well as a humorously argumentative gardener ensuring some grounded wit.
Besides rose poems, the audience can look forward to an affectionate tribute to this legendary flower. The handover of the throne of the Rose Queen to the reigning Rose Princess of Holzhausen will be the climactic highlight, complete with a glimpse into the diverse products of the local rose farm.
