The artist is working with the [Paul Kasmin Gallery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentair) and the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation to breed colossal blossoms in the streets of Manhattan. Ranging from 3 feet to 25 feet in height, 38 [long-stem flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-roses) will burgeon in bunches of six as a gargantuan urban garden installation. Including prodigious scattered petals along the sidewalks as well, the Roses by Will Ryman match the city's spectacular structural supremacy with brass, fiberglass and steel as a [large-scale reference to nature's strength](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henderson-art-garden).
