At Blatna, in South Bohemia, Jan Boehm has created such a wonderful rose garden that a visit to it in the early days of September has become an annual event for many visitors from Czechoslovakia, Bavaria, and Austria. Blatna is a small country town, which would not in itself attract the foreigner. But as a “ rose town ” it can hardly be beaten. Flower parades and flower carnivals are being arranged, in all of whjeb the rose will occupy the central position. Tt was estimated that more than one million roses were exhibited for sale during the last fortnight of August.
