Stop & Smell the Roses

Today our walk through the Aventine hill lead us to a beautiful rose garden known as the Roseto Comunale. Mia explained that this rose garden contains hundreds of different kinds of roses and had used to be a Jewish cemetery

The tranquility within the rose garden created a pleasant atmosphere to get lost inside one's mind. One could barely hear the rough rumbling of traffic from inside of the garden. The cool morning breeze drifted through the rose bushes, bringing out the sweet scents from the rose petals. The New Haven rose, in my opinion, smelled the best with its fresh, delicate, but not overwhelmingly perfumed scent. Although some of the roses had already died because of the heat of the season, the picturesque rows of roses remained distinctively lovely.More information on Roses in Rome
