The coldest days of winter are still to come, and if you're anything like me, as soon as Christmas is over, you’ll be longing for spring. I've already circled it in my 2026 calendar – blue skies, early-morning birdsong, bulbs pushing through the soil, and the first drifts of cherry blossoms lining every sidewalk.

Tholen - After a warm start to the week, sunny weather and pleasant temperatures provided ideal conditions for the 63rd International Rose Competition. The event took place on Thursday, July 3, 2025, in the Rosarium in Westbroekpark in The Hague.
