"We are planning to include the 'Green Rose' in the upcoming summer festival for it would be a sure attraction for tourists. The 'Green Rose' sapling which was planted by the late Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, adorns the entrance to Sims Park with tourists in awe of the new rose variety,” said an official of the Horticulture Department which is in charge of maintaining the park.
About 50 'Green Rose' saplings have been brought to the Sims Park to add colour to the flower beds and attract more tourists in the months leading to the summer season.
