Grow Parade Quality Roses With Bayer Advanced

2008 marks the eighth year in a row that Bayer Advanced has been a sponsor of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses® Parade. The theme for this year’s parade is Passport to the World Celebrations. The Rose Parade® is one of the biggest celebrations in the world, and as a leading brand that helps consumers grow beautiful roses and flowers, Bayer Advanced will again salute the grand parade with a spectacular float.

And what better way to honor the Rose Parade than roses, roses, roses. Viewers will enjoy thousands upon thousands of beautiful roses, including the debut of the 2008 All America Rose Selection winners (‘Dream Come True,’ a yellow and red grandiflora, and ‘Mardi Gras,’ a floribunda with golden yellow and pink blooms touched with orange) and some very special roses created over the decades to honor the world’s best parade and named for its grand marshals. The focus, however, will be a 20-foot-tall sculpted rose that will bloom from bud to full vibrant blossom along the parade – and present viewers with an explosive eye- (and ear-) catching fireworks show as the rose opens!

Bayer Advanced™ has won an award in each of its seven years of Rose Parade participation.
