The other day, I went to see the roses at Kawarabayashi Park, so↓
This article is brought to you by “Nishinomiya Kitaguchi Dental and Oral Surgery, open year-round,” a dental clinic that supports Nishitsu.
I also went to “Anne’s Rose Church” in Koyoen ＼(^o^)／
It’s located about a 10-minute walk from Koyoen Station.
Everyone probably knows The Diary of Anne Frank, but this rose, known as “Anne’s memento rose,” is a richly fragrant repeat-blooming rose created by a Belgian horticulturist in memory of Anne.
The rose, which was also lovingly grown in the garden of Anne’s father, was donated to the church. Now, through grafting, more plants have been grown, and it is said to be cultivated across Japan as “a symbol of the peace Anne wished for” ＼(^o^)／
“Anne’s Rose Church” in Nishinomiya is the only church in the world dedicated to the memory of Anne Frank. It has an Anne Frank museum and houses valuable photographs of Anne donated by her father, Otto Frank, as well as personal belongings of Anne that are now extremely rare.
The museum requires reservations ＼(^o^)／
The roses change color as they go from buds to full bloom.
Like this ＼(^o^)／
In one corner of the beautifully maintained garden, pruned petals and branches with leaves are gently placed.
If you can successfully graft them, “Anne’s Rose” might bloom in your own garden too (#^.^#)
Here’s the location↓
The address is 4-7 Koyoen Nishiyamacho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.
There is also information on the church’s Facebook and Instagram, so please take a look !(^^)!
Please be sure to follow the posted notes carefully (*^^)vNishitsu took these photos around 1:00 p.m. on May 10, 2021.
