The Rose Garden was designed by Argentinian architect, engineer and landscape designer Benito Carrasco (1877-1958) with the assistance of his brother Eugenio who received the diploma of a landscape architect in Belgium.
The Rose Garden is at the center of the February 3 Park, which was created in 1875 on the site of the former residence of the provincial governor (on February 3, 1852, one of the most heroic battles for the independence of Argentina took place).
Exceptionally beautiful is an artificial lake where visitors can make a ride by boat or catamaran along its shores. The lake emerged on the site of a quarry, from which earth was taken to build railway embankments.
Many Russians remember ficus plants, which their grandmothers used to grow in tubs at home. If watered, the plant can grow into a tree in a hundred years to accommodate several hundred people under its crown.
There are 21 sculpture busts of world famous writers in the Rose Garden, including William Shakespeare, Jorge Luis Borges, Federico Garcia Lorca, Antonio Machado and others.
The Rose Garden is open in summer from 8 o’clock in the morning till 8 o’clock in the evening whereas in wintertime, in July, it closes already at 6 o’clock in the evening.
