George Seurat’s Sunday in the Park painting has nothing over Sunday in the Park of Roses! Yesterday there were people of all ages enjoying the beautiful day in the park.

There are still plenty of blooms in the Backyard Garden and panoramas of color in the Formal Rose Garden to enjoy. In the subdued light this time of year, many flowers take on a jewel-tone quality that adds to their specialness.

After your visit, plan a return in the next several weeks to stroll and enjoy the garden’s trees as they put on their autumn show of colors. The Columbus Park of Roses is a certified arboretum with more than 138 varieties of trees and shrubs.
