The only thing better than spending the day in a truly beautiful place is accidentally stumbling upon a truly a beautiful place.

Although it’s not technically a secret, most people don’t know that Columbus is home to a stunning park of roses. The Columbus Park of Roses is a little-known, hidden gem within the state capital—and it’s hiding in plain sight. Open to the public and free of charge, this gorgeous garden deserves your attention this spring and summer. Take a look:

Tucked away in the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus, you'll find this stunning 13-acre park that will take your breath away and make you—literally—stop and smell the roses.

You'll find it at 3901 North High St., Columbus, OH 43214.
The park is home to three different rose gardens, as well as an herb garden and a perennial garden.

It's the perfect place to explore during a visit to Columbus on a sunny day.
Throughout the gardens, there are several wide, paved paths guiding the way and plenty of benches where you can stop and take in the sights (and smells.)
