Intro

Each year, there are some 2,900 roses, of which there are 300 varieties, blooming in Winterthur’s Rose Garden. These also include rare and historic roses such as the French rose, which is the oldest cultivated species still available today, or the deep-pink Queen of Denmark rose. Aside from all the flowers that are in bloom, you’ll also find a place of relaxation here, and glorious views over the city of Winterthur.

The Rose Garden is a real gem among the city’s public green spaces. Just a short walk from the old town, it invites visitors to relax and reflect for a while. Originally part of the former villa garden owned by the Reinhart family, it was transformed into the Rose Garden as it is now to mark Winterthur’s 700th birthday in 1964. 

Two ancient oak trees that grew in a way that they are now intertwined with one another form a theatrical backdrop of trees together with the beeches, and the tea house built in 1911 and the supporting walls and benches give the Rose Garden a certain something. 

Fans of roses can also expect to see a few rarities: The cherry-red remontant rose “Ulrich Brunner Fils”, the world-famous “La France”, which was cultivated in 1867, and countless representatives of Damask, Portland, Bourbon, Centifolia and Moss roses.
