The roses in the garden at Roses of Yesterday and Today begin opening a little later here than most of the Bay Area, due to the unique micro-climate of the garden which is located in a redwood forested canyon with a year-round running stream. Roses begin opening in March, with the Banksia roses in full bloom early April through the end of April, and many of the roses in peak bloom around mid-May. Many of the once annual garden roses do not open until the first week of June, so it may take a few visits to enjoy the full experience. The garden is open every day, including holidays, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Picnic tables are available.

 

Join us from 9:30 - 3 on April 18 to celebrate the Historic Rose garden, a repository of nearly 500 unique and historic roses.  We will be selling over 400 roses, most propagated from the collection and many unavailable commercially.  We will also be conducting tours all day, having a raffle and silent auction, and enjoying the camaraderie of rosarians from near and far.

The Sacramento Historic City Cemetery is a Gold-Rush era historic garden cemetery, and also features a California Native Plant Demonstration Garden, a perennial garden in Hamilton Square, and many individual gardens planted by volunteers in the unique Adopt-a-Plot program.
