Ooty has many interesting places. One among them is the Government Rose Garden which is is the largest rose garden in India. The Rose Park was established on the slopes of the Elk Hill at Vijayanagaram in Ooty on May 1995.
The flowers are arranged in five curving terraces covering four hectares and garden is maintained by the Tamil Nadu Horticulture Department. Here the tropical mountain climate is the ideal climatic conditions for growing of roses.
This garden has more than 20,000 varieties of roses of 2,800 cultivars. The collection of roses include Miniature Roses, Ramblers, Hybrid Tea Roses, Yakimour, Polyanthas, Papagena, Floribunda. The varieties of rose plants planted here were assembled from different sources around the world.
The rose garden has received the Garden of Excellence Award for being the best rose garden in south Asia, from The World Federation of Rose Societies, during May 2006, in Osaka, Japan.

Amazing garden! very beautiful place.
O is for...
Beautiful colours
the outfits are as colorful as the garden!
What an incredible place. I'd love to see it. Though I know many roses have no scent, there must have been many varieties that smelled wonderfully.
My favorite garden, thus far, has been Butchart Gardens, near Victoria, British Columbia. I always enjoy the roses in bloom but it is wonderful any time of year.
My Ruby Tuesday Too is of an Indian musician. Rajesh, look at it...I was thinking the instrument is a sitar but it might be something else. You would probably know.
every major city should have a rose garden. i love them.
frankly my dear
