Description

The Exposition Park Rose Garden, at the heart of Exposition Park, features 15,000 species on seven acres of land. Designated as a Los Angeles County Point of Historical Interest in 1987, the Rose Garden is one of the public gardens throughout the United States that All American Rose Selections, Inc. (AARS) donates its new, award winning rose cultivars to each year. Since 1938, this non-profit group has been dedicated to the development and introduction of exceptional roses for the American home gardener. Garden enthusiasts can view these blooms and decide whether or not to grow them in their own gardens. Stroll around the fountain at the garden's center and smell the roses before entering one of the park's three major museums.
