el paso municipal rose garden

We really enjoyed walking in the rose garden, many different species and all were blooming in October! Beautiful and peaceful! FREE

I appreciate the effort that resulted in this garden's creation. But roses, which thrive in England, in the desert????

This rose garden is not so big but is beautiful. If you go in spring and before it gets to hot in the summer you can appreciate the fresh smell and look of them. Is like a little maze, with stairs, small water falls and alot of colorful flowers. Benches are available . Great area for family pictures. Small parking area. It has a baseball field in front of it. If you like flowers this is a relaxing place to admire them.

A nice place to relax on a weekend that is cool enough to be outside. There are plenty of roses to look at and grass to run around on. Just, don't bring dogs without leashes.

This Rose Garden is FREE to walk through. They have extended it. Excellent to get married there or have pictures taken with the roses.Plan on about 30 min. to walk through it. Free parking. Best time to see flowers is in Spring or Fall. But since there isn't much to see in El Paso, this is a nice change to see blooming flowers in the desert :-)

When the roses are in full bloom around April it is absolutely gorgeous! Even when it's not in full bloom it is still a nice place to stroll around and feel like you aren't in the middle of a desert.

Nothing like the fragrance of roses in the spring. When the roses are not blooming it is a very hot place to visit. Much better to walk in the large park two blocks away.

Beautiful rose garden, and a great place to take you love to stroll around, or as an educational trip for older kids. And best of all - it's free!

Great place to walk around and stretch your legs. Many awesome kinds of roses. Nothing to dislike. I think open on weekends.

I always enjoy stopping here, even for a short visit. A very nicely maintained rose garden with great interest. If you are in the neighborhood, it is worth a visit.

On Friday I visited the El Paso Municipal Rose Garden for the second time in my life and I have lived in El Paso 50 plus years. It is maintained by both the city of El Paso and the Master Gardeners of El Paso. It is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday thru Friday and 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. It is open from March 1st thru October 31st and closed to the public over the winter season. Every day you will find the friendliest most informative people working there. It is truly a treasure in our midst and if you just need a bit of calm time in our hectic world it will fill the bill.

The roses are only in full bloom two times a year and RIGHT now they are in full bloom! I highly recommend this garden. It is FREE! And the volunteers that work the site are amazing, kind and very informative! There are over 1600 roses and 375 varieties to enjoy.

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.

My husband got lost looking for our aunts house, after driving around in circles we decided to go in and see the pretty roses. Pretty it was I felt like I was in my grandma's house missing tea party's glad we got out to take a look. Nice place to visit!

I was very excited when I saw the pictures of the garden on the news and online of beautiful roses last week. I took my family to see the garden this past weekend and was disappointed in what we drove up on. Non of the roses had even started to bud. I am not sure why old pictures were used for marketing or why they would open before there were even roses. Also, it isn't pet friendly. No pets are allowed according to the sign by the gate. It is a small garden and not a park. It might be a nice place eventually, but right now it is just a bunch of dormant thorny rose bushes and some benches. If it were pet friendly I would return to see what it looks like later on in the blooming season. There just aren't any nice areas to have a picnic with your pet and family in El Paso that I can find.
