For the Love of Flowers Only.
This place is a must-visit if you somehow have interest in gardening, Flower Keeping and generally enjoy gardens in a lovely weather of Ooty. Otherwise you can give this place a miss. But those who do love it's a must visit as it's quite well maintained and they do have lots of variety of roses. The entrance of adult costs INR 40/-. Parking charges are separate if you're coming by taxi or your own vehicle. The state government is also selling variety of flowers and seeds if one wanta to buy them.

Breathtaking View, Must to Visit.. It is the highest situated Garden in Ooty, Amidst the mountain.. Roses were very few as the time of roses to grow in April,May. . Best time to visit is during summer, we visited in February where the temperature was below 11 degree so needed a hevay woolen to roam around comforyably..

Lovely roses

May 2022

Numerous varieties of roses at full bloom in month of May. Very nice place to see different coloured roses with their name plates. A must visit place to witness a well maintained garden in the midst of the town.

Not much rose flowers and unsafe for North Indian girls

Jan 2020 • Couples

May be we visited during a season when flowers are not bloomed yet but still it wasn't a very good experience. People in groups taking snaps and not giving an inch for you to capture any view in your camera. Rowdy south Indian oys staring girls from North India. Coming in between your frame deliberately. Pathetic.

Disappointing

May 2022

We had read a lot about Ooty's Rose Garden, but unfortunately, we found it to be quite disappointing; maybe it was a case of high expectations. Most of the roses had wilted away (it was end-May 2022). Also, the garden directly faces an over-built portion of Ooty which is quite an eyesore. In case you are short of time, you can skip this one - both the Botanical Gardens and the Karnataka Horticulture Garden are more enjoyable.

An expansive lay out; this Rose Garden is a class apart

Feb 2020 • Friends

Rose garden has been beautifully landscaped; a large variety of rose species. The cleanliness level is striking; not even a slight suggestion it's a Govt maintained Garden. Full credit to the public authorities for their efforts.

Lovely Garden with thousands of rose plants

Jan 2020

Large garden with all colors of roses. We visited in early January and I guess this wasn’t the right time to see blooming flowers. Nonetheless, it is well maintained with thousands of rose plants. If you love flowers / greenery, this is a MUST DO while visiting Ooty..

Generic Tip not related to Rose Garden 😊… : While visiting Ooty remember it has banned Single use Plastic – so you will not find 1 L water bottles – carry your own steel OR thicker plastic bottle

Plethora of Roses ..

Dec 2020

Huge garden with a variety of roses. One could spot numerous types of roses never seen. Maintenance was bit lacking though after it opened up post the lockdown period. Saplings are available to purchase. Refreshing to walk across the garden. Seating arrangements are there and best is to enjoy the evenings and sunset from here. Nominal entry charges applicable and parking is available.
