The Rose Garden at Elizabeth Park, Connecticut

The alluring and entrancing architectural delight on both sides of Asylum Avenue, West Hartford, as you approach Elizabeth Park, evokes a sense of serenity and peace within. Elizabeth Park's greenery and lots of unique and interesting variety of tree tapestry and ponds are a nature lover's or hiker's delight, or someone like me who often, at this time of the year, visits when the blooms of the roses create a rhapsody of colors in the Rose Garden at Elizabeth Park.

                Meticulously and aesthetically put together rose arches, gazebos, and a vivid variety and color of blooming roses can take your breath away at first sight. Widely known for wedding and engagement photoshoots, this park can be an ideal picnic spot. Home to 15,000 rose bushes and 800 varieties of roses across 2.5 acres of the park, it is the oldest municipal rose garden in the United States and the third-largest in the country. It was opened in 1904 and was designed by Theodore Wirth.
