Rosengarten Westpark, Rose garden in Westpark, Munich, Germany.
Rosengarten Westpark is a rose garden in Munich featuring over 8,500 plants representing more than 200 varieties arranged across sloped terrain with seating throughout. The layout includes labeled plantings and designated areas like the lilac garden, creating different zones for walking and sitting.
The garden originated in 1901 as part of a municipal nursery and underwent major redesign between 1986 and 1989 to showcase professional rose cultivation and garden design. This renovation transformed it into a modern example of rose growing in an urban setting.

The garden is accessible on foot from several sides with benches placed along routes for resting when needed. A dedicated section features fragrant plants and tactile structures designed for visitors with vision limitations.
A separate fenced section displays poisonous plants that grow naturally in local meadows and fields, with educational signs explaining each species. This area teaches visitors which plants to avoid in their surroundings.
