Rome Rose Garden, Public rose garden on Aventine Hill, Rome, Italy.
The Rome Rose Garden sits on the slope of Aventine Hill and contains rose varieties gathered from different parts of the world. The ground is organized into sections based on where the roses come from and their type.
The site functioned as a Jewish cemetery from 1645 until 1934, after which it was transformed into a garden. The redesign was carried out under the direction of Countess Mary Gayley Senni.
The pathways form the shape of a menorah, honoring the Jewish history of this former cemetery site. This design choice remains visible in how visitors walk through the garden today.
The garden welcomes visitors free of charge during the spring blooming season when flowers are at their best. Plan your visit on a day when roses are in full flower for the most rewarding experience.
The lower section hosts an annual competition where new rose varieties compete for recognition in rose cultivation. This yearly event attracts breeders and experts from around the globe to the site.
