Gan Hashoshanim, Rose garden in Talbiya neighborhood, Jerusalem, Israel.

Gan Hashoshanim is a rose garden in the Talbiya neighborhood featuring many rose varieties, European-style gazebos, and formal pathways between residences. The surrounding buildings are constructed from distinctive Jerusalem stone, creating a cohesive architectural setting throughout the area.

The garden was laid out by the Jerusalem municipality in the early British Mandate period, when it was known as the Rose Garden and used for official receptions. It was planned and built by Elimelech Admoni, the city's chief gardener from the 1930s to the early 1960s. After the 1948 war, with Gan Daniel close to the armistice line, the city held its official events and Independence Day receptions here, and the garden served as the state garden of Israel.

The garden reflects European design principles that visitors can see in its carefully trimmed rose bushes and orderly botanical arrangements. Walking through it, you experience a formal garden culture that stands apart from the residential neighborhood around it.

The garden sits in central Jerusalem with well-maintained paths and seating areas that are easy to navigate. Visitors can stroll through during any season and enjoy the peaceful corners of the neighborhood.

The garden was designed and laid out by Elimelech Admoni, Jerusalem's chief municipal gardener from the 1930s to the early 1960s. A memorial plaque at the lower entrance, placed in 2025, honours his work. The British police orchestra played here weekly for residents of the nearby neighbourhoods.
