Roseraie de Provins

Rosaleda de Provins is a rose garden in the medieval town of Provins, where hundreds of different rose varieties grow. The garden is divided into different sections, with each area containing a different collection or type of flowers.

Rose cultivation in Provins dates back to the Crusades, when eastern plant varieties were brought to the city. This long history has made the city a known center for rose growing in Europe.

The garden carries the name Rosaleda and connects the town's identity with its long relationship to these flowers. Visitors can see today how this place continues to serve as a space for learning about heritage plant varieties.

The garden is accessible on most days of the year, and visitors should wear comfortable shoes to explore the different areas. There are paths throughout the grounds, and shade is available in some spots, especially in the older, established parts of the garden.

Many of the rose varieties in the garden date back to the 13th century and show what plants grew in this region at that time. These old varieties are hard to find today, making the garden an important keeper of this botanical history.
