The Gardens - Rose Garden
This treasured flower has been cultivated for hundreds of years, creating many varieties within the three main types of roses: modern, antique, and climbing. Our Rose Garden is fashioned after formal gardens of the past. The center beds contain modern roses, most of which are either hybrid tea, floribunda, or grandiflora roses. The beds on the outer rings of the garden consist of antique and climbing roses.
The Rose Garden begins blooming in April with some roses blooming as late as Thanksgiving. The garden peaks around Mother's Day, and the antique roses bloom in the early summer. Roses are a high maintenance flower because they have been cultivated and changed by humans for centuries, but there is no doubt that their beauty and fragrance are well-worth the work. Our Rose Garden is maintained with the support of the Memphis Rose Society and Dixie Rose Club.
The Rose Garden is located just outside the north doors of the Visitor's Center.
