If you’re a huge flower lover and enjoy discovering beautiful secret gardens in each new city you visit, Boston is just a place for you. Kelleher Rose Garden is one of the city’s best-hidden secrets and it will make you feel like you stepped into a fairy tale world.
This rose garden is located in the Back Bay Fens, just across the street from the Museum of Fine Arts. It’s also situated in close proximity to Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox, which is another reason why it became so popular with the tourists.
Kelleher Rose Garden was established in 1930, and a noted Boston landscape architect was in charge of designing it. The marble sculpture El Desconsol is a focal point of the garden, and it was a gift from Boston’s sister city of Barcelona.
Kelleher Rose Garden now houses over 200 varieties of roses, totaling to over 1,500 plants on the 15,000 square feet plot of land. Most people visit it between April and October when roses are in full bloom.
