This sloping garden in the residential part of La Mulatière covers almost a hectare of land, most of which is dedicated to a collection of old roses, shrubs, hardy plants and bulbs... some 750 varieties of horticultural or botanical roses even rival the trees, climbing the pergolas, covering the walls and forming bushes. Flowering season (from April to late June) is spectacular, and is followed by the bright colours and varied shapes of the rose hips (fruit of the rose tree) from September to November.
