There is a fountain and bench. It was late summer when I visited and the flowers weren't overwhelmingly brilliant, but this a very quiet place for contemplation and relaxation.
The plaque at the entrance reads:

NANCY STEEN'S LIFE-LONG WORK AND
LOVE FOR OLD ROSES.
'TO LOITER MID THE LOVELY,
OLD-TIME FLOWERS,
