Coquitlam Rose
Canada 150 Celebrations
Coquitlam created its own rose variety in 2016 to recognize the City’s 125th birthday. Hardy and diseaseresistant, the salmon-coloured Coquitlam Rose was developed in collaboration with the Fraser Pacific Rose Society, which maintains the Centennial Rose Garden. The rose can be spotted in the Centennial garden, the City’s Inspiration Garden and other parks and public gardens around the community.
Canada 150 Floral Displays Red and white floral displays added festive celebration throughout spring and summer in parks and public building grounds across the city, including an extensive O Canada planting overlooking Lafarge Lake and multiple maple leaf beds of varying sizes in Town Centre Park. Park planting events were held at a number of parks and lawn signs distributed to residents to display community pride as they partake in the Canada 150 garden project.
