Whetstone Park of Roses

Experience the color and fragrance of 424 varieties of roses in full bloom as you stroll through 13 acres of garden beds. This is a wonderful place to walk and take in the beautiful scenery of roses .

Go in the evening... It's a hidden gem of a park , beautiful roses & flowers all for free. Ppl pay to go to gardens this nice.

Some of the best skipping rocks around can be found in the creek in between the Rose Garden and the baseball diamonds .

The Annual Festival of Roses held each June is a highlight for the Park . Enjoy the wonderful aroma of the roses in season!

Rose blooms are May for heirloom roses , June for main rose displays, summer for perennials and herbs. A serene place to walk through any time of year.

The roses are all the way past the library , down the hill , behind the pavilion building. It took me a couple years to realize they were back there.

Did you know? Whetstone Park was used for Victory Gardens during World War II. Today it’s home to one of the largest and most celebrated rose gardens in the United States . Read more
