Balboa Park Rose Garden - San Diego California

 


San Diego, Calif.--Balboa Park Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden  is an award-winning All-America Rose Selection Display Garden containing over 2,400 rose bushes with 180 varieties. As you enter the garden south of the footbridge that crosses Park Boulevard near the Natural History Museum, the fragrant scent is subtle, yet noticeable on a cool San Diego morning. Sitting atop a hill, there's a lovely tiled fountain and cement gazebo area that's covered with plants, providing shade for those who want to stand and gaze for longer periods. After you've walked through other parts of Balboa Park and passed by the Botanical Building to get to the rose garden, you will be amazed at yet, another delightful display of flowers that this park in the heart of San Diego enjoys. 

 

Honored by the World Federation of Rose Societies as one of the top 12 public rose gardens in the world, and one of  only two in the United States to receive this distinction, the garden is in peak bloom during April and May. Popular as a wedding spot, many roses also bloom from March through December. High atop a vista, the location provides sweeping views that are naturally soothing. For those who equate the finest in flowers in the world with romance, this spot is certainly worth a visit.  Open 365 days a year, free.  Balboa Park is located at 1549 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101.
