Tyler Rose Festival (1951) The Tyler rose industry began near the turn of the century. Now, approximately one-fifth of the nation’s commercial rose bushes are produced in Smith County. This 1951 film provides a glimpse into the elaborate pageantry of the annual festival that celebrates the local industry, from the coronation of Rose Queen to a behind-the-scenes look at parade float construction.
