The Roses Need Your Help
The Lyndale Park Rose Garden consists of 62 rose beds surrounded by a chain-link fence. Each rose bed contains a maximum capacity of 35 roses, at peak. There are also roses bordering the fence on both sides of the garden in addition to roses surrounding the Heffelfinger Fountain - that is over 3,000 roses of more than 100 varieties!
