Parking was on street, but easy and close. It was easy to socially distance. There are tons of roses to see and the landscaping is beautiful. There's a wonderful fountain in the middle with lots of seating around it. Though there are a few other places to sit, finding something in the shade was very challenging. I think this place could use a little more signage for types of roses...don't need big signs, but little signs near the ground would be perfect. I have a fascination with taking pictures of roses, so this was an ideal place to get these kinds of photos. Great place to go!

We visited in November, which should have been well past the prime blooming time, but we were amazed at the volume of blooms. This rose garden is huge! Anchored by a large fountain and reflecting pond, the garden offers lots of private areas for photos or just enjoying the blooms. We enjoyed comparing colors and picking our favorite fragrances. Special place!

A city park worthy of five stars! It's free, clean, safe and convenient for parking. It has several doors that allow you to enter and exit easily, but pets are not allowed in. I entered from the side with wisteria. Under the corridor covered with wisteria, I smelled the faint smell of soil and flowers, and looked at the green rose fields. At this time, the roses were not in bloom, and most of them were buds. Only occasionally, you will find a few scattered blooming flowers. There is a fountain around the railing in the garden. The water from the fountain shines brightly in the sun. The water in the pool is clean and clear. Due to the epidemic, people pay attention to keeping a safe distance. Some sit around the bench next to the fountain to bask in the sun, some sit under the blooming tree to enjoy the flowers, and some enjoy the rose fields while walking. They see those blooming flowers taking photos with their mobile phones ... Everything here feels so good! A place worth coming to! I will definitely come back in the near future, when the garden will be more beautiful and better!

Cute and quiet spot to walk around and see many different colored roses. This place gets busy with families and photographers taking photo shoots, which takes away from the place a little bit. You won’t need to spend a lot of time here. Ten minutes max is probably fine.

A beautiful place to visit. Take a stroll and smell the roses, literally! It's relaxing, peaceful and the colors are mesmerizing. Many people throw towels down and have a picnic. Bathrooms are also on site. Best of all, it's free!

What a beautiful garden. A lot of variety of roses. Hybrid roasted also. Huge grounds and big trees. Entry is free. A very nice place to bring kids. A big are where the can play. Nice place to have picnic. Washroom available. 👩‍⚕️ making water taps are available. It also have a fountain right in the center of rose garden. Benches are placed around fountain to people to sit and enjoy.

It's a really nice date place. Our fault for going in the winter, where the roses were very minimal, but the ones left thriving are beautiful. Leaves have browned and wilted, leaving the place looking melancholic, which surprisingly, I liked. I also like how each rose section is labeled as to what species, with QR codes so you can get pics and more info about the rose. Bring a blanket, picnic basket, wine.. I'll definitely remember to come back when the flowers are in bloom.

This garden was so much bigger than I expected. The flowers were so pretty but some were dying or haven’t sprouted. There weren’t that many people and it smells so good. The scene was relaxing and they have public restrooms! The parking is on the street so do be careful of on coming traffic. It’s worth going here not in the rainy season. Remember to wear sun screen!

Fragrant, nice for mental health! Haha, this place was great, guess it's I'm the Rose garden district or something, but once you get to one of the gates it's a wonderful world full of many different varieties of roses. I parked on the southern most entrance on the street, easy enough to find parking, there was some broken glass, so obviously make sure you don't leave stuff out, but whatever. Seemed very well maintained and it was so pleasant to walk among the pathways of roses. Some were trellised and tall other were shrubs. Nice for taking photos. Plenty of space to find your own little area and a fountain in the middle. I believe the restrooms were closed at the time so they had porta potties.

Nice small rose garden but beautiful. Well maintained but requires proper pruning. Very well aesthetically arranged rose varieties in rows well nourished. Old flowers needs to be removed periodically to give a pleasant freshness and good look. Good place to spend time with fresh air and peace of mind.

A beautiful, scenic rose garden in San Jose. Roses in all possible colors and sizes adorn this park. It's maintained cleanly and is filled with people performing photo shoots. An absolute treat for the eyes. There's a big lawn for half the park to have picnics and play. The rest is filled with the magnificent roses. There's ample street parking and to top it off, it's free entry as well.

A very beautiful neighborhood rose garden built in 1931 and is one of San Jose's historic landmarks. There is a fountain in the center with rows and rows of roses of many different colors and varieties. There are also many arches great for taking portrait pictures. In May when the roses are blooming, many people come here to take graduation pictures and even wedding pictures. There are restrooms on site. Parking is available on the streets around the park.

We spent a couple hours smelling and admiring the roses at this very peaceful rose garden in San Jose. Free and I wished we had a blanket because it’s super tranquil and chill here. There is a huge variety of roses and my favorite is the Double Delight rose. Enjoy

Been coming here for years. I'm a local who loves & appreciates the Rose Garden. Been coming to the Rose Garden throughout my entire life and bringing family & friends, too. It's always lovely and kept up. Smells amazing and eye candy for days. If appreciate the simple pleasures and find beauty in nature, then it's a must. There is also a lovely fountain.

This place is amazing! We went on Memorial Day and every rose bush was in full bloom. Acres and acres of roses. Some taller than my mom and aunt. The breeze carried the lovely scent of roses. We loved smelling the roses. Instagram worthy photos everywhere. There were lots of people taking photos including recent graduates in their gowns. Others were having picnics on the grass. It was a lovely time and I honestly don't know why this isn't higher on visitor lists, especially because roses bloom from May to the fall. The volunteers who tend to this manicured garden must be angels. I can see why it won best rose garden.

One of my favorite gardens to visit. It offers beautiful backgrounds for wedding and other celebratory events. Make sure you don’t have to use the restrooms as they are highly hazardous and contaminated due to lack of hygiene and cleanliness.

Beautiful garden with tons of different types of roses and beautiful scenery, great for a romantic picnic or afternoon walk. There seems to be some sort of business that will set up a picnic for you if you'd like, but probably easier to just grab some items from the dollar store.

Not the biggest or the best but a genuinely lovely place to relax. And I wasn't there when they were in full bloom. Different roses were all labeled and that was really cool. Passed by on accident but had seen it on Google and decided to stop, well worth the detour!

Relaxed park with a huge open grass space, a beautiful fountain, and a large rose garden. Great for families, picnics, photo shoots. Definitely recommend. Perfect for a sunny day, can spend hours there or just wander through.

A huge collection of Rose varieties. This park is located amidst the urban settlement and provides open space for recreational activities. It has a nice water fountain in the center with stone benches all around. Rose plants were well maintained and was covered in flowers. The park can get busy during evening hours and weekends. The only downside was the restroom which was not well maintained and was smelling bad☹️. Hope they can keep the restrooms clean and well maintained.

This is a wonderful place to visit if you want to see some amazing roses... There is a lot of picture opportunity during spring season and this park is free to visit. This park is located in a residential area and the car parking is on the side road. One star less as there are so many people in the park for professional photography that you have to wait to get good pictures at good spots. we visited on weekend and it was full of people. I guess it should be better on weekdays.

A very well maintained rose garden in a beautiful locality. They have a huge variety of roses and it's a great picnic spot too. We also saw lots of runners there. Spring time is the bloom time for the roses and it's a must visit during that time.

This beautiful garden in San Jose is at its peak in May. Lucky to have visited it during spring to see full blooms and a splendid display of large rose varieties. :) Must visit for people who love floral beds of colorful roses. Great for photography and picnicking. Grass could have been better maintained but the roses seem healthy. Place is nice and clean. Good for couples and families alike.

Loved spending lunch time here. I walked around and smelled the roses. Nice benches to sit on. Be aware that the bathrooms are on opposite sides of the park (meaning women's and men's are separated at each end). Dogs are not allowed.

Had a great time walking around and seeing the roses! It was super sunny so bring a hat, the entrance is free and there is free street parking. We grabbed coffees from a near by coffee shop and took a stroll around the garden. The other side of the garden was open and there were lots of people enjoying the shaded parts of the garden. There was even a couple of people painting canvases of the flowers!

Best blooming is in May; roses start looking a little worse for the wear once summer starts, but still impressive until early September. Compared to the nearby Guadalupe Gardens Rose Heritage Garden, this one is more stately with a fountain in the center. But both have a great variety of roses and rose arches. There is street parking on all four sides of the garden and public restrooms there too. Common site for picnics and graduation photos. The sheer size of some rose hybrids and height of the numerous hedges are amazing! There are benches and trees for shade as well.

Visited Rose garden last weekend. Lots of roses are there. It is not a very big garden but lots of people visit here during weekends. There is huge empty ground is also available for picnic. Also observed lots of people with camera to capture beautiful pics. There is no designated parking area however lots of road side parking is available. Entry is free here. Must visit if you like to take pictures and small picnic. You can not spend more than 2 hours here since garden is small.

Beautiful garden where you can spend half a day walking around the colorful roses. And they smell great 😍 Nice place to have spend time with family especially kids. There were many people just for the photoshoot. There were 2 weddings happening at this place when we visited. Day well spent! Entry is free.

Such a beautiful place to visit around this time, roses are blooming. Grab your picnic basket and have fun. Great for everyone. Parking is free and just park at the side of the streets. The park is free also, and they close 30 min after sunset. Love this, will definitely visit again.

About 40% of the park is open field, and 60% is the rose garden encompasses a water fountain. There are various types of roses. The park needs to add monuments to entice visitors. Otherwise, the park is pretty simple and plain, even it's the blossom season. I see people come to the park to read books and use the bench to unwind their complex thoughts. There's limited street parking outside the park. Free, of course. Not sure if you can park at the close-by residential area. This review is neutral.
