This rose garden is dedicated to ancient shrubby and climbing roses. Created with passion and painstaking care by the couple who owns in 2008, it covers an area of 2.033 square yards, where apple trees (Malus domestica spp.), and pear trees (Pyrus communis spp.) grow as well. Those very trees offer some precious shade, thus reducing the problems of summer droughts along with several patches of iris.

Some 200 roses can thus grow in this garden, belonging to 50 varieties; the XIX century ones are the most common, although there are also several Rosa gallica officinalis (now considered extinct in nature), XVII-century Rosa Centifolia Muscosa, Rosa celsiana (introduced in Europe during the Crusades, featuring an intense fragrance), and Rosa chinensis “Viridiflora”, whose small flowers are entirely made of green sepals.
