May is beautiful and the roses are in the first strong bloom of the year. Garden has seen better days but still spectacular and lovely setting going down from the street. Many varieties to see, especially like the rose arbors with many unique varieties.

You have the city views, comfortable benches, easy to maneuver steps, easy paths, fantastic variety of roses, colorful and fragrant flowers, and other friendly visitors. I love this place! A good place to bring your camera, sack lunch, or just sit and meditate! Even for a quick stop as you sight see in the Berkeley hills, it is worth it.... More

A marvelous place to visit if you'd like to explore modern roses arranged in an amphitheater space. A great view of the bay. A little piece of heaven in the east bay.

An amazingly romantic spot to walk hand in hand with that special person in your life.Time stands still as you are engulfed in a sea of roses. Anyone who loves flowers will be enchanted by spending a few hours here.

The Rose Garden is beautiful and peaceful. It's a relaxing place to explore, either on your own or with someone else.

Over the years I've been to many weddings at the Rose Gardens. Each one was unique in how and where the ceremony was placed. Having the roses as a backdrop always makes each ceremony absolutely beautiful. It is also a quiet place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. I have seen many people go there to just read and relax....

This is a public park in Berkeley that certainly could use some funding. It is a great spot. My husband and I spent a week in Berkeley and on one of our morning walks we took a stroll through the garden. We were there in late August, so the roses were not at their best, but we could imagine their... More

The place you go for a beautiful view. My wife and I almost got married here. You can reserve the area for your wedding, however you can't stop people in walking through. That's the only reason we didn't get married here. Go and see for yourself and hopefully it's not on a foggy day. But it it is, you'll enjoy... More

This garden was built by the WPA in 1937 and houses about 3,000 rose bushes. The stadium like appearance of the garden makes an attractive appearance. However, a lot of the roses in the garden show obvious signs of lack of care. I hope this gets rectified by the volunteers that work in the garden. It was once great and... More

There are many lovely roses but they all looked rather stressed and most were covered with powdery mildew - probably hard to fight with coastal fog. Wish I lived closer so I could volunteer!
