Rome's Roseto Comunale

Roseto  
Rose Garden, Rome
Occupying a prime spot on the Aventino (Aventine Hill), the Roseto displays an extensive permanent collection of roses, occupying the higher slopes and climbing up over walkways, also competition entries and new breeds. 
The range is huge, and you can spend hours wandering, photographing and choosing your favorites: from the huge colourful extravagances of roses like Rinascimento to the sweeter pale specimens hiding shyly behind their bolder cousins. 
The scents and colors create a memorable experience, especially when combined with the backdrop of the Palatine ruins and the open space of the Circo Massimo.
