Do the rose pickers always dress up in traditional costumes or is it just for the pictres?

Anyway, I hope I will be able to visit Bulgaria a day.

The Rose picking process can be done only for 2-3 weeks(or maybe 1 more I am not sure) during May. So there are some special rituals done at the beggininng and at the end of the campaign for more than a century. Everything ends on 31st May with the Rose Festival in Kazanluk.

Here is one more photo of the rosepickers
