The Rose Garden in Golden Gate Park is where nature writes love letters in the language of flowers and sends them out in the breeze. This fragrant oasis is a technicolour dream of blooms that could make even the most hardened city slicker stop and, well, smell the roses. 

With every petal, stem, and thorn, the garden tells tales of romance, beauty, and the occasional gardening mishap. It's a place where botany meets poetry, and visitors are invited to compose sonnets in their hearts or at least figure out the difference between a hybrid tea and a floribunda.

Best time/season to visit:
Late spring to early summer, when the roses are in their prime, gossiping about the bees and flirting with the sun.
