Here the air is perfumed with the scent of hundreds of roses. Fences are covered by climbing roses such as bright red 'Dublin Bay' or blush pink 'New Dawn'. Then there are ground covers, beautiful English roses, hardy roses and many ancient roses that are not widely grown today.

'Dublin Bay'

'New Dawn'

The Rose Garden hosts 230 rosebushes of over 180 varieties. About 30 historic and modern hardy Canadian roses have been planted so far.
