This pruned garden is not just any rose garden. It was only a few years ago that this rose garden in San Jose was under AARS* probation. In 2007, however it was revived and two years later this rose garden became the coveted “America’s Best Rose Garden.”

The recognition also came from AARS – All-America Rose Selection, an association of rose growers dedicated to promoting and testing roses.

San Jose’s Rose Garden with all of its 3500 shrubs spread over 5 acres of land is also known for a pruning session that saw the whole of the garden pruned in about an hour’s time. This happened last year when 900 odd volunteers — young and old — from the bay area came together to transform the garden.

January 2010 also saw the volunteers unite and do the job again. The pictures you see here are a result of that: San Jose’s Heritage Rose Garden- pruned to perfection.

Pruned and all set, America’s (newest) Best Rose Garden is ready for the spring. Come back here to see how it looks at its flowery best.
