Exposition Park Rose Garden, Los Angeles CA: Seven sunken acres of vibrant blooms transform this historic garden into a fragrant canvas where over 20,000 roses have replaced a once-notorious racetrack. Established in 1927, the garden's classical design features marble gazebos at each corner and a central fountain that anchors four symmetrical pathways. Once a testing ground for prestigious rose awards, this protected landmark has survived numerous development threats to remain a public treasure. Morning light illuminates dewy petals in an ever-changing palette while nearby museums and university buildings frame this floral refuge. In a city defined by reinvention, the rose garden stands as a testament to preservation—a living artwork where time slows and visitors can trace Los Angeles' evolution from frontier town to cultural metropolis. We meet to the left of central fountain at the heart of the garden in a gazebo.
