Rose Parade 2020: The Floats

The 2020 Royal Court float On New Year’s morning, everything will be coming up roses — and carnations and chrysanthemums and dendrobium orchids and cymbidiums and daisies and more. Flowers of every type, by the tens of thousands, will decorate all of the colorful floats in the Tournament of Roses Parade. That’s how things roll in Pasadena. Here’s an alphabetical look at those entries in the 2020 edition of the parade.
