With 18 acres of blooms, and foliage, and several peaceful benches…this location will make your friends envious. Tweet them and tell them you are surrounded by endless varieties of gorgeous roses. Invite them to bring a picnic lunch and join you. Don’t forget to visit the gift shop before you leave.
