The focus of the rose garden is the long pergola, covered with climbing roses, clematis, and other vines. It was inspired by similar structures seen at the Huntington Garden and the Montreal Botanic Garden. Standing in front of the pergola are two gazebos, which hold baskets of flowers in season. A broad rectangular lawn lies in front of the gazebos, and the lawn is flanked on three sides by borders filled with roses, perennials, and trees. Off to the side, enclosed by a large fence, is a pavilion that holds two hanging porch swings.
