It’s summer in New Jersey, and the flowers are in full bloom. Whether you’re a home gardener admiring your own little plot, or looking for the best and brightest botanical gardens in the state, there’s something for everyone at this time of year. However, there’s one amazing flower garden that most people don’t even know exists. The best New Jersey rose garden isn’t found at a paid attraction or flower show – it’s found in a public park in Montclair! The Brookdale Park Rose Garden is a dazzling display of over a hundred varieties of roses. This is both a great place to take in the natural beauty of these flowers, and an excellent opportunity to learn about them. One thing is for sure – rose lovers won’t likely find more of their favorite flowers in one place anywhere else!

Brookdale Park is one of the most underrated parks in the New Jersey Parks system, located in the heart of Montclair.
