Her Royal Highness Princess Marie names a new rose developed by Poulsen Roser A/S.

We are proud and grateful that HRH Princess Marie has accepted our invitation to name the lovely new rose at the annual Rose Festival in Bogense, Denmark on August 7. HRH Princess Marie is married to Prince Joachim who is fourth in line to the Danish throne. HRH Princess Marie was given the rose as a wedding present by the renowned Danish rose breeding company Poulsen Roser.

Morten Andersen, the Mayor of North Funen, will welcome HRH Princess Marie at Bogense Town Hall. After the naming of the rose the Mayor and Her Royal Highness will go by open carriage through the city of Bogense to finally attend a reception at the Town Hall. The program for the naming is attached.
