Roses are beautiful at the right time of year
I've reviewed this garden before but since then I've seen a couple of poor reviews which I feel must be addressed. One, March is still winter in El Paso. Of course, there are not going to be many roses yet. The rose bushes are just being pruned at this time of year. But come early or mid April until it gets too hot, the roses are at their best. Please go back again and check them out. Two, August is one of the hottest times of the year in El Paso. Who would even think about having a wedding outside in El Paso anywhere much less in a rose garden in the hottest time of the year? Yes this is the desert and the roses have a hard time in the worst heat, but come late September and through the fall, the roses are once again magnificent. Also, the last thing the rose garden needs is pets in it. Pets like to pooh and this is definitely not the place for it, sorry. There are a few benches to sit on but unfortunately, this garden is not set up for picnics nor does it have facilities. There is just not enough space. It's more important to have lots of beautiful roses, I believe. Please take the time to visit this beautiful garden during the milder seasons when they are at their best. It's July right now and over 100 degrees, how can these roses show their colors with this kind of heat? The garden is very well taken care of by the Rose Society, the El Paso Master Gardeners and the city but expect trash during the windy season and brown leaves during the heat of the summer. The garden is of medium size and if you are a rose lover, you can spend an hour or two enjoying it.

Beautiful in April
This place is a must see when the roses are full bloom. The smell is appealing and the view spectacular with so many different kinds of roses. It's a special place.
