We made a special trip and after stopping here we sort of thought it was not even really worth going too far out of the way. I am not sure if they want to keep it natural and if I should have picked the big thistles or leave them. Lots of bugs on the flowers. About 10% of the bushes had blooms. Smaller than I would have expected.

We've visited the Rose Garden many times in the early summer and later & it's always a pleasure. The gardeners make certain that there are a variety of roses in bloom through the early Fall but the best time is when the climbing roses are in bloom. Spectacular! Thank you for caring for such a beautiful greenspace.

The problem with rose gardens is that they are most beautiful at their peak, but if you go at other times you don't get the same sense of loveliness. We were there the end of June. Considering all the Volunteer parking spots, you'd think the gardens would be better maintained, but we did not feel that the garden was well-maintained. We had to park some ways away from the garden, but we can walk and a walk is always a good thing.

Such a beautiful, wonderful place. There are virtually always roses in bloom because so many varities are planted. If you do see any Japanese beetles, pick them off and kill them (you'll feel like you participated).

This place is beautiful, especially in early summer when all the flowers are in bloom! People often take wedding photos here :)
