The rose garden was first established for the City of Nelson Diamond Jubilee (1897-1972).
This is a well-established rose garden and from local information it was first established with the native "Wild Rose" common in this region of the Kootenays and Alberta.
Over the years, through continued efforts of the local garden clubs and the City of Nelson, the rose garden has become an outstanding display of colour for all to enjoy.
We were there in the middle of July and found the rose garden in all its glory. The fragrance of the roses permeated throughout the garden. It was a pleasure to behold.
There is also a memorial plaque dedicated to Elsie Corbett.
In Memory of
