The captivating fragrance of the roses, coupled with the picturesque surroundings, made for a truly immersive experience. Visitors were seen strolling through the well-manicured pathways, taking in the exquisite sights and pausing to admire their favourite varieties.

Children, with wide-eyed wonder, explored the garden, while older attendees engaged in conversations with knowledgeable gardeners and enthusiasts who shared insights into the art of rose cultivation.

‘Durbanville Rose Garden is one of our most beautiful and fragrant recreation spaces. The garden not only shows off what our horticulturists are able to do, but the space and knowledge is shared with residents and visitors. If you missed the show, the garden is still open throughout the week for visitors who simply want to spend time among the beautiful blooms,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Patricia van der Ross.
