The Rose Garden at Mission Santa Barbara

Tourists and visitors, the Rose Garden in front of the Santa Barbara Mission is a historic botanical treasure of roses planted on land given by the city that is adjacent to Mission Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara California's host, Rebecca Brand gives facts about this historic beautiful rose garden of 500 specimen roses maintained by the Santa Barbara Rose Society. Magnificently maintained, this garden blooms three times a year. The spacious lawns are great for family picnics or lawn games. Sit in a shaded park bench at this Mission's Rose Garden and capture the iconic view on your camera. Behold the magestic range of mountains flanked by palm trees cascading down the Mission bell towers, one of Santa Barbara California's most spectacular sights.
