The garden is built on the site of an ancient Jewish cemetery. From the top of the garden you can see that it's laid out like a Menorah.
The garden is free and for this blooming season is open May 16th - June 28th. It's worth a visit.
Here's more info on the garden, directions, from Wanted In Europe.
You can see the Palatine Ruins on the left.
"I beg your pardon. I never promised you a rose garden." This a very pretty place. Smells lovely.
When I looked at these roses, the line "Think Pink!" from the film Funny Face came into my head.

Wish I were there right now. pretty roses. pretty pictures.
It looks so lovely. We have a small rose garden in our city's arboretum (which is actually an insanely wonderful arboretum for a city this size), but it's nothing like what you're describing. I may have to wander over there now, though... or at least in late June, when it's likely to be at peak.
It looks lovely. You didn't see the Giro d'Italia cyclists by chance on Sunday? I saw on the TV they rode by Circo Massimo on the road that is on the far side from the Palatine.
So very pretty. And how lovely that they're blooming next to some historical ruins. :)
Too funny, my word verification is "milan"!
ciao chow linda - I smelled the garden before I saw it.
jen - Did you ever go to the Brooklyn Botanical garden when you lived in NYC? It' s a nice one too.
homebody - I didn't see them. I saw all the signs/road closing when I was coming back from working out by Circo Massimo.
los angeles - I'm still astounded by how old this city is. Over 2,500 years old. That is hella old. ha
Soooooooooo pretty!!!!!!
Ah, so gorgeous!
