Bulgarian rose blossoms in Vancouver

The Bulgarian rose has bloomed once again in Vancouver's largest and most iconic park, the Bulgarian Consulate General in Toronto said. 

Growing on Canada's Pacific coast, the flower has become a symbol of Bulgaria's traditions and of the ties between the Bulgarian community in Canada and their homeland. The consulate thanked the Bulgarian-Canadian Society of British Columbia for caring for the rose bush, as well as Milena Sarneva and Stefan Sarnev, who donated it.

According to the diplomatic mission, the initiative helps promote Bulgarian culture in one of Canada's most visited public spaces and serves as a symbol of friendship between Bulgaria and Canada.
