If you go at peak rose time you won't be disappointed. They take good care of the place. I hear the 4th of July fireworks are good there as well although I have not been there for that.

There are so many types of roses! I took my camera and spent the day taking pics, I made sure to get a pic of the sign that told what the breed the rose was for later when I got home.
Wonderful place to have a wedding, reception, or office picnic. The party house is the perfect size for our office staff.
Roses are in full bloom in the gardens in June. The fragrance is wonderful and there is plenty to do for everyone; play yards for the little ones, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, and picnic areas all around. Enjoyable place to spend an afternoon.
Of course it is at its most beautiful in warm weather months, but I enjoy it year-round. There are many paved paths throughout and it also is part of Whetstone Park which has many acres and a number of paths.
Thoughtful plantings of old and new roses, plus a perennial garden, a wonderful herb garden, a lily planting, a daffodil garden, a fern garden, and wild flowers; an assortment of various kinds of tree and shrubs, a Japanese shade house, gazebo, and tower; something beautiful happening throughout the growing year.
When my wife was alive we went to the park two or three times a year just to see all the varieties of roses on display , what a great place.
I absolutely LOVE this park!! It's a gem within a hustling and bustling city! I've been to it several times, and always enjoy myself. I've also gone to it by myself to walk my dog and felt very safe in doing so. In the summer, Whetstone Park itself always seems to be very busy with various activities and sporting events....

Peaceful area in the midst of the city. Beautiful gardens to walk through and discover the flowers. Good place to take a lunch break.
When the roses are in bloom, it's a great place to enjoy the colorful array. My hobby includes taking portraits, and the flowers are a beautiful background.
