10000 Roses Cafe & More

This guide to 10000 Roses Cafe & More on Cebu's Cordova waterfront follows interior designer Miguel Cho, who in 2017 planted a field of LED-lit artificial roses beside the Lantaw Floating Restaurant, inspired by a design plaza he had seen in Seoul. It traces what happened once photos of the glowing garden spread online and crowds began arriving by the busload, drawn to a field meant as a backdrop for proposals and anniversaries. The garden still switches on as one, all at once, around six each evening.
