The rose garden is a test garden operated by the Rose Society of Tucson. The garden is laid out in a circular pattern with a large gazebo in the center. Adequate parking is available near the garden entrance.
From the Tucson City Parks website:
The Reid Park Rose Garden boasts 1,080 different color rose beds, with more than 100 species of roses. The Rose Society of Tucson has been a partner with the City in the development and promotion of the garden for many years. A layout plan, available free at the garden, indicates the location of the various rose species in the garden and lists the best rose varieties for our desert climate. The garden also contains a large gazebo and is very popular for weddings, birthday parties and other special events by reservation.
The Rose Garden is always a special place to visit, but the most impressive display of roses in bloom occurs each March-April and October-November.
