Rose Garden

If you love plants especially roses, then you'll love this garden. I hadn't visited too many free gardens, but was glad this one was. Came in May 2023 when everything was a full bloom. It was truly beautiful, but of course it was a scorcher with the heat. All the roses had a pleasant scent. There were alliums as well. The paths were paved and easy to maneuver. Great for wheelchair bound individuals to enjoy their time out as well. A seen a few couples spending time. The parking was open not paid. There are benches located throughout the garden. Not too many bees or flies buzzing around which was a huge plus.

I took advantage this spring break to bring my daughter, and myself, to the El Paso Municipal Rose Gardens. It was lovely and delightful! We truly enjoyed the day. The roses have not bloomed, but this was an incentive to return in April or May! We can hardly wait, and have planned to bring lunch, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and especially, each others company. I shared a story with my daughter that her great-grandmother played a integral role in the development of the rose garden at its inception. Iva Merle Richardson Cox was a master rose gardener and learned everything from her mother, back in Lynchburg, Virginia. It helped that she lived on Douglas Street, which is a few blocks from the Municipal Rose Garden. Highly recommended, and we plan on returning soon.

It was super pretty and so many flowers. i recommend going during bloom season and it was very empty so you can take pictures and stuff

The Rose Garden was a great find while visiting the local area. I really enjoy flowers and any outdoor spaces when Im traveling to other places. Easily assessable to all, especially people that have disabilities. Great place to relax and have some down town from the hustle of the city. This garden was free, you can donate if you wish. Great parking and easy to find in El Paso. I did pick up a flyer on site of the history of the gardens. There are a variety of roses and a few others flowers for you to enjoy.The volunteers of the gardens have done a excellent job keeping this hidden gem in top notch condition. I highly recommend that you stop by and donate if possible. Dani~

Just an awesome little rose garden. Many tiers of wonderful and well kept roses. I saw a plaque from Better Homes and Gardens from 1937 so this has been winning hearts for decades. I only wish my mom was with me because she absolutely loved roses. Come for a beautiful moment and remember all those you've loved or love.

Who can really say anything bad about roses? I know I can't! I've always loved their beauty and scent. Even though they're a little bit hard to grow and maintain at home, they've always been one of my favorite flowers. I wish they didn't have thorns but it is what it is. Anyway...I always enjoy coming to the rose garden. It's always a peaceful and calm place to visit. Not sure why I hadn't written a review! I hadn't been in quite some time so it was nice to visit recently. I believe they shut down in 2020 due to the pandemic. It was windy the day I went but that didn't stop me from smelling the roses (yeah, pun intended!) and looking at them. It was fun to take some photos.I would say April is the perfect month to come and check out the rose garden. It's typically spring here in El Paso. You'll see a lot of roses in full bloom. Also, it isn't too cold or hot in April. Once it starts hitting the 100's, I'd recommend coming earlier in the morning...before 11 am if possible. They close at 6pm. The rose garden is available for weddings. People also come to take photos for their wedding or quinceanera (15th birthday). I'd definitely recommend taking photos here for a special occasion and/or just because. :) It's hard not to! If taking photos isn't your thing, I'd still recommend stopping by just to look around. I'll be coming back soon to take more photos.

A rose blooms in the desert...figuratively as well as literally. El Paso has a free Rose garden in the middle of the city. Apparently not many people know or visits which is a shame. They're missing out on over 1500 roses with 432 different varieties! It's literally over 4 acres of roses. They have benches, covered and shaded sitting areas, even a small waterfall. Volunteers maintain the garden and I met some master gardeners today. Hopefully their green thumbs rubs off on me. ‍My inner photographer came out and I went a little crazy but you can't get a bad angle here! It's gorgeous, and SMELLS divine. They were just starting to bloom and you can see the buds ready to open in the next few weeks. They also told me the summers are gorgeous too with the Bradford pear trees in full bloom and sunflowers.The rose society rely on donations and the parks and rec service rents it out for weddings and group functions. It's entirely free to visit and we picnicked there for lunch. We brought some fig and goat brie sandwiches and some candy from Chamoylicious_ep . My mother in law's roses were decimated this past winter and she was so happy to see her favorite roses in bloom. It was also good for physical therapy since the walkaways are gently sloped and ramped with handrails in addition to the stairs. ‍Please don't pick the flowers and just enjoy them, they work so hard on maintaining and making sure we all can stop and smell the roses.

This rose garden is a rare gem to enjoy in the desert of El Paso! The roses are so beautiful when you go in April/May! We just visited this past weekend to enjoy some Spring flower colors! The variety of colors with the green is an oasis to enjoy here especially before the summer heat! Enjoy while it lasts this Spring!

Stepping into this charming little garden is a sight to behold and despite having the roses not even in bloom is saying a lot. I can image how beautiful and amazing this place is in Spring time. I need to mark the calendars and return. Other the the construction happening across the rose garden, it was as I said cute and charming. Must see

This is a volunteer run rose garden on a terraced hill. We visited in July and enjoyed our short stop there. You can easily walk around the whole thing in 15 minutes or stay much longer.
