Rose festival Nelson would next year promote a national Rose Week, the Mayor of Nelson (Mr T. F. Home) said at the executive meeting of the South. Island Promotion Association yesterday. Two Rose Sundays brought on in Nelson had been so successful that a Rose Week had been promoted this year he said and had been a “fantastic” success. Next year’s occasion would be publicised throughout New Zealand and overseas, and it was hoped that it would become an annual event along the lines of the Hawke’s Bay Blossom Festival, Mr Home said.
