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.
