The volunteers did a great job: they are so kind and the garden has a huge variety of beautiful roses with also good descriptions. There's also a fountain and some benches. I really enjoyed my time in it.

The roses are in full bloom and the garden is beautiful! What a wonderful place to have an afternoon walk around the roses complete with fountain.

This is a walk in heaven. I want to get married here! Amazingly kept roses, bursting with fragrance. Beautifully kept grounds with a large are of redwoods lining the perimeter where ceremonies often are. There's also a large lawn so you can easily enjoy picnics and family outings. At the center of the garden is a beautiful fountain. Pure tranquility.... More

I live near here and love to come by and see the blooms. There are always new species and plenty of color. It is a wonderful place to relax and unwind.

I thought it could be pretty nice. I was there in November. But, I thought the grounds were well maintained.

I visited in February, so not many roses, but the lawn was lovely. People everywhere just enjoying the sunny day and the peaceful setting. Facilities are great. Street parking.

It was a wet December in northern California. Things in the garden were quite soaked and there were only a few blooms. But behind a bit of squishy grass and some poor rose bushes in standing water was a very beautiful place. The center has a large fountain which provides nice views and the noise of water drowns out the... More

The rose garden is a little oasis in hectic Silicon valley. There is sufficient parking nearby and the variety of roses is breathtaking.

Nicely maintained garden in a good neighborhood. Lot's and lot's of beautiful rose bushes. Every bush was named. Adjacent lawn area was well manucured.

I was born and raised in San Jose, California, but I never knew that hidden away in a little neighborhood was such an incredibly beautiful rose garden/park. I came here for a Going Away Party in the summer of 2012 and had a wonderful time! I wish I'd had more time to wander among the roses! They were all in... More
