Five Rose Gardens in Full Bloom
Nearly 120,000 Bushes Planted
The Anyangcheon Rose Garden, created by Guro District in Seoul, is reaching its peak this week. A total of 119,800 rose bushes are in full bloom across five locations, including the Ecological Flower Garden, covering a combined area of 10,500 square meters, creating a spectacular scene in the heart of the city.
The Anyangcheon Rose Garden has been established in five areas: the Sinjeonggyo Ecological Flower Garden (60,000 bushes, 30 varieties), the 'Central Rose Garden' from Gocheokgyo Bridge to Guilleok Station (5,600 bushes, 6 varieties), the 'Baram Garden' at Saseonggyo Bridge (8,000 bushes, 12 varieties), the flower garden near Baemsoedari (8 varieties, 1,200 square meters), and the embankment slope from Sinjeonggyo Bridge to Gwangmyeongdaegyo Bridge (12 varieties, 4,000 square meters). In particular, the arched roses near Baemsoedari between Saseonggyo Bridge and Gwangmyeongdaegyo Bridge are a signature viewing spot recommended by the district.
The rose garden is open to everyone, with various amenities such as walking trails and photo zones, making it a popular destination for families, couples, and visitors. The roses bloom twice a year: from mid-May to the end of June, and from early September to October. The district systematically manages the garden under the supervision of a rose management specialist, conducting seasonal care such as protection against frost and flood damage, pruning, and weeding.
Jang Inhong, Mayor of Guro District, stated, "I hope the Anyangcheon Rose Garden becomes a cherished space where people can enjoy nature within the city," and added, "We will continue to strive to provide residents with more relaxation and inspiration through a pleasant and beautiful garden."
