If it is winter, it means it is time for pruning. With the roses gone, a rose garden may not be the best place to hang out. But if it is San Jose’s Rose Garden, it is a different story.
Since it does not snow here, the pruning process is done in January itself. The pruned garden itself is a sight to see. This rose garden, which is maintained by volunteers, is now America’s Best Rose Garden (awarded in 2010).
Last week we took a stroll in this Rose Garden and thought it a beautiful and well-kept place. Located off Taylor (Street), this rose garden has an enchanting fountain and several stone benches (and wooden ones too) to sit back and enjoy the environment.
Beside this rose garden is just the place you could take your children to on a sunny holiday morning. Our toddler had a great time running on the manicured lawn and watching some older kids cycle through the bike paths here.
There was a mother teaching her kids how to do some somersaults. There were families sitting and having snacks. There were daddies photographing playtime.
This is a fine place for little ones to play ball or for a game of Frisbee. Do I have to say that this is also a scenic option for adults to take a walk in?
