Municipal Rose Garden, San Jose

Parking was on street, but easy and close. It was easy to socially distance. There are tons of roses to see and the landscaping is beautiful. There's a wonderful fountain in the middle with lots of seating around it. Though there are a few other places to sit, finding something in the shade was very challenging. I think this place could use a little more signage for types of roses...don't need big signs, but little signs near the ground would be perfect. I have a fascination with taking pictures of roses, so this was an ideal place to get these kinds of photos. Great place to go!

A city park worthy of five stars! It's free, clean, safe and convenient for parking. It has several doors that allow you to enter and exit easily, but pets are not allowed in. I entered from the side with wisteria. Under the corridor covered with wisteria, I smelled the faint smell of soil and flowers, and looked at the green rose fields. At this time, the roses were not in bloom, and most of them were buds. Only occasionally, you will find a few scattered blooming flowers. There is a fountain around the railing in the garden. The water from the fountain shines brightly in the sun. The water in the pool is clean and clear. Due to the epidemic, people pay attention to keeping a safe distance. Some sit around the bench next to the fountain to bask in the sun, some sit under the blooming tree to enjoy the flowers, and some enjoy the rose fields while walking. They see those blooming flowers taking photos with their mobile phones ... Everything here feels so good! A place worth coming to! I will definitely come back in the near future, when the garden will be more beautiful and better!

This garden was so much bigger than I expected. The flowers were so pretty but some were dying or haven’t sprouted. There weren’t that many people and it smells so good. The scene was relaxing and they have public restrooms! The parking is on the street so do be careful of on coming traffic. It’s worth going here not in the rainy season. Remember to wear sun screen!

Visited Rose garden last weekend. Lots of roses are there. It is not a very big garden but lots of people visit here during weekends. There is huge empty ground is also available for picnic. Also observed lots of people with camera to capture beautiful pics. There is no designated parking area however lots of road side parking is available. Entry is free here. Must visit if you like to take pictures and small picnic. You can not spend more than 2 hours here since garden is small.

About 40% of the park is open field, and 60% is the rose garden encompasses a water fountain. There are various types of roses. The park needs to add monuments to entice visitors. Otherwise, the park is pretty simple and plain, even it's the blossom season. I see people come to the park to read books and use the bench to unwind their complex thoughts. There's limited street parking outside the park. Free, of course. Not sure if you can park at the close-by residential area. This review is neutral.
