🌹Imagine a rose that blooms in the desert! On the edge of the vast Taklamakan Desert, beautiful Damask roses are sharing their only flowering season of the year.
These special roses were brought to this land centuries ago along the ancient Silk Road. Even though the desert is hot and dry, the Damask rose has thrived here for ages!
But here’s the coolest part: they only bloom for one month each year, and each flower blooms at dawn and withers by dusk. That means they shine for just one day! 😊
Their fragrance is so strong that it stays on the flower pickers’ clothes for two days. Imagine smelling roses everywhere you go!
One acre of these desert roses can bring in over 8,000 yuan in just a month. So, they’re not just pretty—they help the people living near the desert make a good living. These roses are a symbol of hope for the land and the people.
Isn’t nature amazing? Next time you think of the desert, remember the magical Damask roses that turn sand into a sea of blossoms! 🌼🌵
