The Rose Garden houses 96 varieties of antique roses. Unlike modern hybrid roses, the majority of the roses in the garden only bloom once a year, usually in late spring. 

The Rose Garden is open daily from 9am to dusk, except on all major federal holidays. Entrances to the Rose Garden can be found on Walnut Street and Locust Street, between 4th and 5th Streets. It is an outdoor area, but there are locking gates at both entry points. The Rose Garden is wheelchair accessible.
