Lonely Planet review for Elizabeth Park Rose Gardens

Known for its fine collection of 15,000 rose bushes, Elizabeth Park at Asylum Ave is a 100-acre – and 100-year-old – preserve on the Hartford-West Hartford town line. More than 900 varieties such as climbers, American Beauties, ramblers and heavily perfumed damasks cover the grounds. June and July are the months to see the roses in full flower, but they bloom, if less profusely, well into fall. Besides roses, the park tends a tall dahlia display, herb gardens and greenhouses. The landscaped paths make for excellent jogging trails.
