Becoming 'godparents' of a rose

For anyone visiting Eltville, the desire to take a piece of this beauty home with them is strong. This year, the municipality has decided to go a step further by relaunching the 'Patenschaften' (rose adoptions) project. This is not just financial support for the maintenance of public gardens, but an act of love for the landscape heritage. The programme, which has just been renewed for the 2026 celebrations, offers various formulas. With an annual adoption, one can link one's name to the variety of the year (the blütenRhein® for 2026). For those seeking a deeper connection, there is the permanent adoption. In return, godparents receive an artistic certificate and ongoing updates on the health of their flowers: an original and poetic gift, ideal for celebrating an anniversary or birth.
