Cranford Rose Garden
There is nothing more sensuous than a mass of fragrant, colorful rosebushes in bloom. In the Cranford Rose Garden in early summer, tens of thousands of roses cascade down arches, climb up lattices, clamber over the pavilion, and pose in formal beds.

Here, over 5,000 bushes of nearly 1,200 varieties thrive, including All-America Rose Selections (AARS), wild species, old garden roses, hybrid teas, grandifloras, floribundas, polyanthas, hybrid perpetuals, climbers, ramblers, and miniatures.
It is a living classroom, demonstrating beautifully the historical development of the rose, its many varieties, and the best ways to grow them.
