MUNICIPAL ROSE GARDEN

ROSETO COMUNALE
Area arranged in 1950 by Antonio Muñoz (1884/1960)
Since 1645 here was the old Jewish cemetery in Rome that was moved in 1935 to the Verano Cemetery
The first Municipal Rose Garden was created in 1932 on the Oppian Hill at the behest of the Countess Mary Gailey Senni, an American lady who had married an Italian count
There are about 1,100 different species of roses from all over the world, from China and Mongolia, with curiosity as the rose petals green, the rose that changes color or the stinking rose
The paths dividing the areas of the collections form the design of the menorah, the Jewish candelabrum
