The Giardino delle Rose is a small terraced garden (2.5 acres) on the south side of the river.

In addition to over 350 varieties of roses, the garden is also home to several whimsical sculptures by the Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon (1935-2005).

The rose garden is at its best during the month of May.
