This year's edition is presented in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Türkiye in Singapore.
It seeks to explore the rich cultural heritage of Türkiye, influenced by the ancient civilisations of Greece and Rome.
Highlights of the exhibition include the Damask rose, which is being showcased for the first time, and "black" roses, which get their name from their dark, rich, red colour.

"Rose City"
Other unique-looking roses can also be found on display.
The Rosa Sunshine Babylon Eyes are a striking varietal with just five petals. However, they feature a vibrant pink and yellow centre, which create an illusion of a flower within a flower.
There are also the Rosa Leonardo da Vinci, which boasts over 90 petals per flower in a striking shade of deep pink.
The roses are complemented by other flowers such as delphiniums, lavender, carnations and petunias.
Turkish architecture
Visitors can also experience Turkish architecture through a recreated Bodrum house with white-washed exteriors and blue accents, emblematic of Türkiye's Aegean coast.
A traditional rose distillery setup and a perfume storefront create the atmosphere of a Turkish marketplace.
