Rapperswil Rose Gardens, Rose garden in Rapperswil, Switzerland.
The garden displays over 15,000 rose bushes across multiple terraced sections, creating a continuous display of colors near Lake Zurich.
Established in 1913, the gardens evolved from private plots to become a municipal attraction through initiatives led by local women in the 1920s.
The gardens reflect Swiss horticultural expertise through their systematic organization and integration of traditional landscaping methods with modern cultivation techniques.
Visitors can access the gardens without entrance fees and explore the collection of roses from May through October, with peak blooming occurring in summer months.
The Duftrosengarten section contains 1,522 plants from 75 fragrant varieties with Braille labels, making it Switzerland's only rose garden designed for visually impaired people.
