Rose Week

With more than 45,000 blooms on display, the now-familiar Rose Week festival is under way in south Belfast.

Just like Chelsea Flower Show, it's a major tourist attraction but there's a lot of international prestige and money at stake as rose growers from around the world hope their blooms will come out tops in the fiercely competitive rose trials.
