El Rosedal De Palermo, Rose garden in Palermo, Argentina.
El Rosedal de Palermo is a rose garden containing approximately 18,000 rose bushes arranged along winding paths. The garden sits within Parque Tres de Febrero and is organized around a central lake that creates focal points throughout the space.
The rose garden was built in 1914 on 3.4 hectares of Parque Tres de Febrero, land once held by Juan Manuel de Rosas and confiscated after the 1852 Battle of Caseros. Mayor Joaquín Anchorena proposed it, and agronomist Benito Carrasco, a disciple of Carlos Thays, directed the work from 5 May to 22 November 1914, planting 14,650 roses of 1,189 varieties. It opened on 24 November 1914.
The Jardín de los Poetas holds 26 busts of Argentine and foreign writers, set among the rose beds. The Andalusian Patio, donated by the Seville city council and inaugurated in October 1929, has a fountain whose central column depicts the founding of Buenos Aires, while its benches show scenes from Don Quixote.
The garden is open daily and accessible through multiple entrances along Avenida Sarmiento and Avenida del Libertador in Palermo. The curved pathways are easy to navigate, allowing visitors to explore at a comfortable pace.
The garden holds 26 busts of poets and writers in its Poets Garden, and the Greek-style bridge by Avenida Infanta Isabel has long been known as the Bridge of Lovers. The Andalusian patio, donated by Seville in 1929, has a central fountain whose lower basin explains the reason for the gift.
