Florentine Rose Garden
Viale Giuseppe Poggi 2, 50125 Florence, Italy
Description:
Florence Rose Garden is a small piece of land, the size of only one hectare, on which, miraculously more than 150 years, grow the most delicate varieties of roses, bright irises, delicious lemons in the city.
There is a rose garden in Florence, near the church of San Mignato, which Michelangelo himself affectionately called “the bride”, on the stairs of Monte Alle Croci. In 1865, Giuseppe Poggia designed the garden when the capital of Italy was to be moved to Florence. Only in 1895 it was opened to everyone. Here you can see roses of different shades and types, as well as other unusual ornamental plants and charming flowers. Complement the local paradise atmosphere with beautiful sculptures and fountains in the form of fabulous animals and original human faces.
The garden is located on a hill, so it offers a magical view of the city, which you can observe in peace and quiet. You can visit the Florentine Rose Garden for free from May 1 to July 31, every day from 8.00 to 20.00.
