In a show of community spirit, the Royal Rosarians will bring a rose with them when they visit the Marysville Strawberry Festival.
The Portland-based group will bring a rose and plant it with other roses growing in a small garden near the corner of Totem Middle School and State Avenue.
The rose planting ceremony takes place at 10 a.m., Saturday, June 18, which is the same day as the Grand Parade.
“They plant roses at most of the bigger festivals,” said Jennifer Hansen, a Strawberry Festival volunteer.
The Royal Rosarians are Ambassadors of Goodwill for the City of Portland and the Portland Rose Festival. Members march in parades and organize rose plantings throughout the region, according to the Royal Rosarians website.
As a member of the Northwest Festival Hosting Group the Royal Rosarians participate in community festivals. Some of those festivals include the Capital Lakefair in Olympia and Seattle’s Seafair.
The Rose Planting Ceremony will be held Saturday, June 18, beginning at 10 a.m.
