Lyon, 3-9 June 2015
LYON WELCOMES
THE WORLD ROSE CONVENTION
DOSSIER DE CANDIDATURE _ BID DOCUMENT
WELCOME TO LYON !
Great cities do not emerge by chance. It is factors of loca-
tion, climate, geography, history and the men and women of
the region that determine their existence.
Lyon is the result of this outstanding combination. Its 2000-year
history testifies to Lyon’s ability to build its wealth and its suc-
cess without ostentation but not without wisdom and clear-
sightedness.
A city of trade, Lyon was the first city to hold large traders’
markets.
A city of communications, Lyon created a major access net-
work that opened onto Europe and the rest of the world to
encourage exchanges and influence between people,
goods and ideas.
A city of finance, Lyon was innovative in exchanging curren-
cies and setting up the first banking system in France.
Here, the World Rose Convention, which is to be held in Lyon
in 2015, will find an ideal host, the cradle of a long tradition of
welcome and of 2,000 years of contact with Europe and the
world.
Lyon, where the world comes together !

c/ Urban projects in harmony with sustainable development
Lyon was a double prize winner at the 2007 LivCom Awards for liveable communities
The international awards ceremony for sustainable towns and cities was held in London and Lyon was awarded :
• 1st prize for "enhancement of the landscape" (category: towns and cities of all sizes) for the Berges du Rhône” project
• 2nd prize for "overall quality of living environment" (category: cities with 200,000 to 700,000 inhabitants), just behind Malmö
in Sweden
Out of the 39 cities from every nation in competition, only Lyon and Johannesburg were awarded 2 prizes in the same competi-
tion. Lyon is the first French city to participate in this competition and to receive an award
THE BANKS OF THE RIVER RHONE
Since the refurbishing of the Rhône river banks beautiful new perspectives of the city have been revealed to walkers over a 5
kilometer stretch of modern and delightful walkways.
According to Lyonnais Mayor Gerard Collomb, these profound modifications of the Rhône river banks give the city “a new phi-
losophy and a peaceful family atmosphere”. The cars and car parking spaces that once filled these banks have been re-
placed by pedestrians roller skaters and cyclers.
The left bank refurbishment is the first of a series of projects
promoting green transport modes. Indeed, the goal is to
supply real alternatives to motorized travel by develop-
ing cycle paths and pedestrian walkways. The car parking
spaces that were lost with the creation of these new pedes-
trian banks will be partly replaced by underground car
parks with a capacity of over 1100 spaces.

LYON CONFLUENCE
Making the Lyon Confluence area a reference in energy efficiency
The Lyon Confluence project has been exclusively designed with sustainable development in mind.
• 23% of council housing
ONLY LYON /
• High quality environmental guidelines for all buildings and public areas
• Developments of green transport modes
• Rehabilitation of polluted soil
In 2004, the Lyon Confluence project qualified to be part of the European Union Concerto program which encourages invest-
ments in favor of energy conservation in housing and office constructions. Funds totaling 3.5 million € were awarded by the
European Union to the project in order to cover extra costs brought by energy saving and sustainability initiatives: 40% cuts in
energy needs compared to today’s standards thanks to both the bioclimatic design of the buildings and to insulation and ven-
tilation. Renewable sources of energy account for 80% of needs, the most efficient being biomass and solar energy technolo-
gies.

beds . The “Parc de la Tête d'Or” is open to the public and entrance is free. It is still today one of the biggest and most beauti-
ful urban parks in France.
• Use of rainwater: implementation of a centralised watering system which uses runoff water.
• Environmental management system for Lyon’s green spaces: first national green space service to obtain the ISO 14001 certifi-
cation (2005).

WORLD ROSE CONVENTION - LYON 10B. SAVOIR-FAIRE : LYON : “IN THE HEART OF THE ROSE"
For all rose amateurs, Lyon and its region are considered as the cradle of the “modern“ rose, as rose-growers from Lyon
were largely responsible for developing our favourite flower. The list of roses associated with Lyon is particularly long,
both for modern and ancient varieties.
Lyon rose-growers in the 19th century
During the 1840-1850's, BELUZE, DUCHER, GUILLOT, LACHARME, and NERARD were some of the names at the start of the
history of the Lyon rose. In 1867, Jean-Baptiste GUILLOT son, created ‘LA FRANCE’, the first hybrid tea rose, fruit of a well
thought-out hybridization. His father, around 1850, had invented shield budding on dog rose root stock, a process still
used to this day. Around 1900, PERNET-DUCHER, another Lyonnais, created ‘SOLEIL D’OR’, the first hybrid tea rose in yel-
low tones. Other names to be added to these famous rose growers were BERNAIX, BONNAIRE, DUBREUIL, Widow
DUCHER, LIABAUD, SCHWARTZ, who with their creations known throughout the world, helped to make Lyon the world
capital of the Rose during the 1870/1914 period.
The years 1935 to 1955
This period was marked by COMBE, DUBREUIL and above all Charles MALLERIN whose creations Madame P.S. DUPONT
and VIRGO toured the world and are still grown today.
Currently
Lyon plant breeders are still recognized around the world and CROIX, DORIEUX, DUCHER, GAUJARD, GUILLOT, LAPERRI-
ERE, MEILLAND, ORARD, REUTER, regularly received prizes in International Competitions. The creations are loved the world
over. Professionals consider that the rose which most marked the 20th century was ‘PEACE’, created by Francis MEIL-
LAND. It was so named to commemorate the end of World War II in 1945. During the OSAKA Convention, another Meil-
land rose, ‘PIERRE de RONSARD’ was admitted by the WFRS into its “Hall of Fame“
Every year, 2,000,000 rose plants are produced in the Lyon region.
Rose Societies in Lyon
Two societies for professionals and amateurs work together to promote the rose in France.
The SOCIETE FRANCAISE des ROSES
Founded in 1896. Its creation in Lyon confirms the region's importance in breeding and producing roses.
Every year, it organizes the Concours International de Roses Nouvelles de Lyon, initiated and jointly organizes the Bien-
nale de la Rose Parfumée de Nantes, and cofounded and organizes Altera Rosa, an event around the rose, visited
each year by 25,000 amateurs in the famous setting of the Palais des Papes in Avignon. Members of the society partici-
pate on the juries of European competitions.
Every year, it publishes the glossy review “LES AMIS DES ROSES“.

WORLD ROSE CONVENTION - LYON 11ONLY LYON / SAVOIR FAIRE
ROSES ANCIENNES EN FRANCE
Founded in 1995, also in Lyon, it brings together amateurs and professionals in ancient roses and organizes many exhibitions
and events where ancient roses are in the spotlight.
The society is currently working on creating painted walls relating the history of the rose in Lyon.
Rose Gardens in Lyon
There are three in the Parc de la Tête d’Or
the Grande Roseraie Internationale, 30,000 plants in 350 varieties, in 40,000 m² in a landscape setting, AWARD of the
WFRS.
the Botanical Garden Rose Garden, 360 varieties, mostly ancient and botanic, in 16,000 m²
the Roseraie du Concours International, the roses are judged for 2 years, 3 for shrubs and climbers.
Many public and private gardens including the Rose garden in the Parc des Hauteurs and the Rose garden in the BONNE
MAISON created by Odile Masquelier, known to amateurs of ancient roses the world over.

LYON Green City
The town has just received an award from the PNUE and IFPRA for the quality of its parks and gardens and its contribution to
sustainable development. With its 95 hectares, the Parc de la Tête d’Or is a landscaped park which, as well as 3 rose gar-
dens has a Zoological Garden, a botanical garden and recently, an African Plain, where free-roaming animals can be ad-
mired. Very recently, the city's ecological reputation has been boosted by the arrangement of a “Green Way” along the
banks of the river Rhone.
