If the roses are not blooming, go see all the Coronation dresses. Listen to the history of the Tyler Rose Festival.
We have been to Tyler many times but this was our first time to visit the museum. It is a very unique place showing all things rose! The highlight of the museum for me was seeing all of the beautiful gowns worn by the rose queens, and photographs of them in their gowns. The dresses were amazing, beaded and sequined wonders. The gift shop was nice and the huge fields of rose gardens were lovely, with every variety. We obtained a free directory of the rose gardens in tyler and purchased many roses at one of them to take him. Highly recommend this museum for a unique experience.
The Rose Garden wasn't worth the walk. I raised this up to average because of the display of past Rose Queen gowns on display. They were worth looking at.
The care of the gardens is immaculate! The colors and different fragrances are heavenly! Would recommend a visit for anyone close to Tyler, TX.
Loved having a quite afternoon to stroll through the trails caught up in conversation surrounded by the most breathe taking roses. Had a wonderful time.
In late summer or early autumn this is a paradise of roses. Every variety and color imaginable is represented and well labeled in this lovely garden. it is large enough to feel more like a park.
About 2 football fields of the most beautiful roses I've seen. The entire area is neatly manicured and when in flower WOW.
This is the best rose garden anywhere around and it is free toall. The grounds are open to public with picnicking areas & lots to photograph. There is also a museum & gift shop.
If you like roses this is the place. More roses than you can shake a stick at. I went with my GF and found it to be a great little get away. Don't just go for the roses though, they have fountains and streams and a butterfly garden. I truly am glad I went and plan on returning.
My husband and I visited the rose gardens when it was cold. There were few blooms left, but the gardens were still beautiful. We enjoyed walking the trails and looking at the landscape and fountains. We would love to visit in the spring.
