Nice setting but no Wow factor

Mar 2020 • Solo

Rose garden set up is really good in a large round garden area with fountain in the middle.

All different types of roses with many colours but half of the them looked dead so visually looked so so.

Maybe roses were not in bloom in early March but you have to grade it on the time you visited.

Fantastic rose gardens and indoor gardens

Mar 2023

The rose gardens are fantastic. There are so many different types of roses - the names of the roses are displayed. The gardens are easily to walk around, everything is spread out. Lots of places to sit. There are indoor gardens. Also a great place to walk around. It is all very clean, including the bathrooms. Cafe is great as well.

The Lady Norwood Rose Garden at Wellington

Feb 2020

We visited the Lady Norwood Rose Garden in February - just a little late in the season. Although the gardens were still quite beautiful and very well maintained, some of the roses had passed their peak for blooms for the year. And, being later in the afternoon, the highly touted Begonia House was already closed for the day. Nevertheless, the well laid out rose plots and beautiful blooms and the "Peace Garden" are all must-see sights for any visitor to Wellington.

Glorious

Nov 2022

We visited in November and there were quite a lot of roses in bloom. I think it must be stunning at the peak of their season. Nicely set out flower beds with good labelling. We did not visit the cafe although it looked good. It was certainly busy.

Coming from Cable car museum, we walked down to the city through the Botanical Garden and found this amazing place! Lots of varieties of roses! Great place to visit during summer.

Nice free thing to visit

Jan 2020

Nice rose garden. Interesting that they are transitioning to 'chemical free' rose gardening, and some of the roses are showing signs of black spot or something on their leaves, as you would expect... so interesting to see that some varieties are more resistant than others. I took note.

Rose Garden, part of the Wellington Botonical Gardens

Nov 2019

Many colors of roses with ducks walking among them, probably attracted to the centrally located pond. A very relaxing atmosphere.

Colourful beauty

Nov 2018 • Solo

This garden is fantastic to have stroll and enjoy the roses. The design is really beautiful and the roses come in a wide variety of colours. The ducks that hang around the garden add to the lovely atmosphere and the cafe next to the garden is good to have a cup of coffee. Plenty of practicing opportunities for the photography enthusiasts

Beautiful rose's

Mar 2019 • Friends

We visited in March, the best time for the rose's would have been a month or so ago. Still a lovely place to see.
