Known forhistoricbotanicalromanticfree
A stunning seven-acre sunken rose garden adjacent to the Natural History Museum, featuring over 15,000 rose bushes representing nearly 200 varieties in a formal garden design that dates to 1928. Peak bloom season runs April through November and the garden is genuinely spectacular — one of the finest public rose gardens in California. It can get crowded during prom and quinceañera photo season in spring, but weekday mornings are tranquil.
