🌹 Stop and smell the roses at Botanica! 🌹

Our roses are putting on a spectacular show right now, and there's no better time to visit. The Jessie Wooldridge Brosius Rose Garden is home to more than 350 stunning rose plants representing a wide variety of colors, shapes, and fragrances.

Inspired by the beautiful round gardens of New Zealand, this beloved garden features several American Rose Society award-winning varieties, including Floribunda, Grandiflora, Climbing Roses, Shrub Roses, and Tea Hybrids.

Blooming now through the first frost, these timeless flowers symbolize love, joy, beauty, and romance—making every stroll through the garden a memorable experience.
