The Rose Garden is a quiet flower garden in Greenwich Park, at London SE10 8QX. Come in early June to see the roses in bloom and enjoy their scent among the flower beds. Benches make it easy to pause for a picnic or a little reading, and the garden is also a pleasant place to watch bees and birds, including red-ringed parakeets. Rose displays can be past their best during autumn renovation, so the garden is a better choice when the flowers are in season.

Choosing when to visit
