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.

 

Ohio State University's Garden of Roses of Legend and Romance, whose 1,500 old-fashioned roses should be in full, fragrant bloom, will host a free public open house from 9am-2pm on Saturday, June 13th.  The program will feature tours led by rose experts, a pruning demo/general Q & A session, and the sale of a limited number of rare roses all propagated from plants in the garden.  Contact Kelly King for more information: king.1364@osu.edu 

 

Open to Public at 12 noon and lunch is available on site
Come and beautiful roses and meet avid rose growers of the treasure valley.
