The Roseroad
el Camino de las Rosas
The Roseroad runs the length of the Reach, linking King's Landing to Oldtown through the lands the Tyrells rule. Much of the grain that feeds the capital travels along it.
A road like this does more than carry goods and armies: it can also be closed, and whoever holds it holds King's Landing's stomach in their hands.

Jaehaerys I TargaryenKing Jaehaerys I Targaryen included this road in his programme to improve the Seven Kingdoms: ruts were filled in, fresh gravel laid down, and bridges built, just as on the realm's other roads.
Chapter 3
The road shut during the war
Books only
Mace TyrellDuring the war fought by rival kings for the Iron Throne, Renly marched his army from Highgarden toward King's Landing, moving slowly down this road.
Mace Tyrell, lord of Highgarden, shut this passage, the route through which grain reached the capital from the Reach. Without that supply, King's Landing went hungry.
Chapter 4
Reopened after the Blackwater
Books only
After the Battle of the Blackwater, Mace Tyrell reopened the Roseroad, restoring the flow of grain into King's Landing.
