Spring Racing Carnival Flowers

Each major race day throughout the Spring Racing Carnival has a flower dedicated to the day, so avoid a floral faux pas and be sure to wear the right flower on the day.

Flower of the Day

Dress your hair with fresh flowers, wear them on a beautiful hat or choose a perfect single bloom for your lapel. Ten race days each have their own official flower of the day.

The yellow rose of the Emirates Melbourne Cup is undoubtedly the best known, but 10 race days of the Spring Racing Carnival each has an official signature flower.

You could plan your race wear around the pink rose of Kennedy Oaks Day or the white rose at Crown Golden Ale Caulfield Cup, or choose a shirt and tie specially to tone with the tiny Ceil Brunner rose of Cox Plate Day.
