Initiatives by Various Organizations
On this page, we introduce initiatives by various organizations that are working toward peace.
20th World Rose Convention 2025 in Fukuyama
World Rose Convention is an international conference on roses, held every three years by the World Federation of Rose Societies. The convention brings together about 600 to 700 rose-related people from around the world, including rose researchers, growers, lovers, and artists.
The 20th anniversary of the convention will be held in Fukuyama City.
The compassion, kindness and mutual cooperation nurtured through the cultivation of roses as a symbol of peace and postwar recovery have been ingrained in Fukuyama City as "The Community Spirit through Roses".
At this convention, alongside the beautiful roses in full bloom, they hope to share with the world the precious value of peace and to convey Fukuyama's community spirit with all participants.
