Pink China roses transform Beijing landscapes with 200-day bloom season

Pink China roses known as "Yueding," now blooming across several of Beijing's landmark bridges and ring roads, have become one of the city's most eye-catching attractions this year, drawing widespread attention from residents and social media users alike.

Among the most popular viewing spots is the Sihui Bridge on the Fourth Ring Road. Viewing from above, rows of pink roses appear like delicate necklaces adorning both sides of the roadways, creating a vibrant and picturesque urban landscape.

"Yueding" is a rose variety independently developed in Beijing. One of its most notable features is its exceptionally long blooming season, which lasts from early May until mid-November—up to 200 days. The variety is also well suited to urban environments, with strong resistance to high temperatures, wind, and vehicle exhaust pollution.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) lowered its forecast for global oil demand growth this year for the second month in a row, citing the prospects for weakening demand in non-OECD economies.

In its monthly oil market report released on Thursday, the Vienna-based oil group projected that global oil demand in 2026 will rise by 970,000 barrels per day from 2025 levels, down from the 1.17 million-barrel growth forecast in its May report and the 1.38 million forecast in April.

The downward revision, according to the report, was driven primarily by reduced demand expectations from non-OECD countries.
