The Rose Garden at Monserrate, Sintra

During 2008/2009 the first 125 roses were planted: Chinas, Teas and Noisettes.
In the spring 2010, another 250 rose bushes were planted and in 2011 a further 500..
Standing on the great lawn at the head of the Rose Garden on a still warm day will bathe you completely in almost intoxicating scents. A fitting tribute to the Oriental atmosphere sought by previous occupants of this magical palace and its park.
