If you admire architecture and appreciate the essence of historic design, then add the Rose Garden neighborhood to your must-see list. This quiet and beautifully manicured residential area is one of San Jose’s oldest neighborhoods, complete with famous architecturally designed homes dating back to the 1800s. San Jose Municipal Rose Garden is the cornerstone of the neighborhood and was deemed “America’s Best Rose Garden.” The 5½ acre garden features more than 3,500 rose shrubs with nearly 200 varieties represented year-long. If you like colorful surroundings and serenity, take your camera and go enjoy a relaxing stroll or picnic under a redwood on the lush grass.
