Description
This stamp pays homage to the Ariana Rose, the emblematic flower of the “City of Roses” and the undisputed symbol of Tunisian spring elegance. Jalal Ben Abdallah's illustration enhances this variety whose fragrance and beauty have shaped the cultural identity of this region, famous for its centuries-old festival which celebrates each year the blooming of this queen of flowers.

Beyond its botanical interest, the Ariana Rose embodies a heritage of refinement and a sweetness of life anchored in the terroir. By devoting this program to this flower, the Republic promotes a precious horticultural tradition, transforming a simple rose bud into an ambassador of the national delicacy. This stamp reminds us that the pride of a people is also rooted in the splendor of its gardens and the preservation of its floral heritage, thus linking the beauty of nature to the collective memory of the nation.
