Rosengarten Forst, Rose garden in Forst, Germany
Rosengarten Forst is a large-scale rose collection featuring over 1000 varieties spread along the Neisse River, combining both historic and modern cultivars. The space is organized into themed sections with tens of thousands of individual bushes arranged in carefully designed beds.
The garden began in 1913 as an exhibition marking Kaiser Wilhelm II's 25th anniversary of reign. After wartime destruction, the site was rebuilt and later became an international hub for rose breeding and research.
The garden hosts the annual Rosengarten-Festtage celebration at the end of June, drawing rose enthusiasts and breeders from across the region. The event showcases cut rose displays and reflects local traditions that shape community life throughout the year.
The main entrance near Flora's statue fountain serves as the orientation point for visitors. Self-guided tours with audio assistance are available to explore the themed sections at your own pace.
The New Varieties section regularly showcases over 250 freshly bred rose cultivars from growers worldwide. This tradition of observing new breeding work has been maintained continuously since the 1930s.
