The Russell Rose Garden is the oldest garden in Nevada County. A beautiful, private setting for outdoor gatherings from weddings to garden parties, the rose garden is home to over 200 antique and modern roses, some over 100 years old. It is divided by hedgerows and lawns, with memorial statues and benches shaded by a beautiful collection of mature flowering trees. The planting beds contain a large collection of spring bulbs, perennials and specimen flowering shrubs. There are crepe myrtle trees, dogwoods, old holly trees, a rare white pomegranate tree, yew and other old fashioned garden favorites. The picturesque garden is enclosed with wrought-iron fencing and a charming, aged brick wall.
