Enjoying Roses


One of the best ways to stop and smell the roses, besides those planted in your garden, is to visit one of the 130 plus AARS-accredited public rose gardens. Each garden blooms with hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of roses.

These gardens showcase AARS' new award-winning roses, and are a great place to get ideas for your own garden.
