Behind the Scenes: The Journey of Roses for Pasadena's Tournament of Roses Parade

Credited from: LATIMES

  • Bob Mellano, a flower wholesaler in Los Angeles, faced a shortage of 50,000 roses just a week before the 136th Tournament of Roses Parade.
  • The Hearts rose, a prized variety, was crucial for the parade floats and came from Colombia, which has been experiencing poor weather conditions.
  • Mellano’s company, established by his grandfather, has played a vital role in the Rose Parade's floral arrangements for two generations.
  • As the parade has evolved, Mellano's reliance on international supply chains has increased due to domestic growers leaving the industry due to various pressures.
  • After a frantic effort, Mellano received the missing roses just in time, showcasing the dedication and complexity of floral preparation for the iconic event.
