3. Rose romance 2022
Rose Romance: An Italian Summer In Singapore
Picture this: you’re wandering down a winding, cobblestone alley, the atmosphere perfumed with roses so sweet they could melt a statue of marble. The Flower Dome has turned the Gardens by the Bay into a mini‑Italy, thanks to a partnership with the Embassy of Italy in Singapore. That’s right, the queen of flowers is strutting across our city’s skylines, starring in a floral showcase that feels like a stroll through a Tuscan village.
- Rose Extravaganza – From fragrant reds to soft blushes, the display is a bouquet of gorgeous rose varieties that practically shout, “Love is in the air!”
- Italian Alley – The rock‑paved, narrow streets of the exhibit capture the rustic, arcadian charm of old Italian towns, complete with vintage lamps and that classic country vibe.
- Juliet’s Balcony – No Italian display would be complete without a nod to Shakespeare’s iconic scene. The exhibit showcases a meticulously recreated balcony from Verona, a perfect backdrop for an impromptu “Romeo & Juliet” photo op.
So bring your bae, fetch that camera, and reenact the balcony scene while you’re sniffing roses. Trust us—nothing tells a love story better than a bouquet and a backdrop that pulls straight from the Eternal City.
See it live between May 13 and June 12, 2022 (or check the latest schedule online if you’re planning your next garden get‑away).
