La Rosaleda in El Retiro Park Madrid🌹✈️
I visited the Rose Garden in fall, and it was still super green with plenty of roses on the bushes. But, the best time to go is definitely in the spring. In the spring the roses will be the most vibrant and they will even be covering the trellises. The garden is located in the beautiful El Retiro
