We have been here few times so far. Always with family and we always have good time. Parking is very easy too. Completely free. Worth the time.

Great variety of roses and colors. Liked the evergreen trees as contrast for photos and for shade. A lovely place to have a picnic.

Beds and beds and beds of roses. In mid-May, they were all in bloom. The colors ranged from whites to pink to dark purples with traditional blooms to ruffled doubles. Definitely worth a quick or extended visit!

My son has lived in San Jose for a year and didn't know about this beautiful spot. Enjoyed walking through the rose beds on a quite afternoon. A year later he proposed to the love of his life here!!

Come during late summer and early fall when all the roses are in bloom. It's an enjoyment to be had for the senses. Great place to have a picnic or a lunch.
