Originally the site of past Argentina president Juan Manuel de Rosas’ country home, the garden has been a public landmark since his defeat in battle on February 3rd, 1852. The significance of this date was cemented into the park through its name, Parc 3 de Febrero. Created in 1912, the garden was designed by Charles (Carlos) Thays and his student Benito Carrasco. Their design features an amphitheater, an Andalusian terrace, and a special garden dedicated to legendary writers and poets, including stone busts of 26 great literary figures. The primary attraction, however, is the collection of over 18,000 roses covering acres of land. With over 1,000 different species of roses on display, the garden is truly a sight to behold. If those features weren’t enough, bordering the floral canvas that is the Rosedal, is a beautiful lake that surrounds the majority of the garden, making the view from the outside as magical as the ones found within. While the garden is a paradise at any time of the year, visiting in July might earn you free flowers and cuttings, as the garden is pruned during this month. The garden is an oasis of green in the bustling Palermo neighborhood, and is a must-see attraction for all.  Item changed by user 39 at 2019-07-02 11:47:36.Created manually by user
