Christchurch The Rose Gardens

The Botanic Gardens’ heritage rose garden is located near the Band Rotunda while the modern rose garden is on the opposite side of the Avon River, behind Canterbury Museum. The Central Rose Garden and Heritage Rose Garden is set out in a series of concentric circles, the Rose Gardens have more than 250 varieties of modern cultivar roses and plenty of pretty rambling heritage roses.  Early November is one of the best times to visit the Central Rose Garden, when everything is in full, spectacular bloom!
