The rose

The habit of growing rose gardens was developed in the 18th century, when it became common to reserve a specific garden area in order to grow roses.  During the 19th century, rose gardens became more and more refined, displaying elaborate designs and coordinated colors.
 
This Rose Garden was first opened here in 1935. At that time, in its 19 concentric little gardens, 1.144 rose plants were displayed, gathering more than 300 ancient and modern varieties.
 
In the 90`s, this Rose Garden went through a renovation, incorporating many tea-hybrid varieties.  Finally, in 2004, after a complete revitalization process, many new kinds of roses have been added, composing a planned color-tone display, and producing an image of rare beauty and harmony.
