Overview
The Roseto Comunale is Rome's spectacularly romantic, breathtaking public municipal rose garden. hugging the steep slopes of the aristocratic Aventine Hill, it overlooks the massive grassy expanse of the ancient Circus Maximus.
Highlights
- The Collection: The sweeping terraces hold over 1,100 distinct, specific varieties of massive roses collected from all over the entire globe.
- The Layout: The massive eastern heavy upper section displays classical, historical massive roses, while the separate sweeping heavy lower section showcases massive modern varieties notably competing in Rome's prestigious annual international rose competition (Permio Roma).
- The View: The absolute best, perfect photo spot is the massive curving paths looking straight down onto the wild sweeping massive ruins of the Palatine Hill across the Circus Maximus.
History
The steep, romantic, sweeping slope was traditionally used as the primary massive Jewish Cemetery of Rome strictly tightly from 1645 until 1934. In 1950, the massive site was redesigned as a massive public rose garden. The sharply intersecting massive central paths form a massive Menorah viewed from above, acting as a permanent tribute to the massive Jewish community that rested there.
Visitor Tips
- Extremely Limited Opening: This is crucially important—the massive garden is strictly OPEN ONLY for about 60 specific days every massive spring (late April to mid-June). It is closed to the massive public for ten months of the massive year.
- Duration: 30–45 minutes.
