Stones and Roses at the Jardin des Plantes

If you’re looking for a romantic and scientific walk, the rose and stone garden facing the Mineralogy and Geology Gallery inside the Jardin des Plantes is definitely where its at. With more than 390 wild species and ancient and contemporary rose varieties, the garden is a pure delight for the senses.

The Rose Garden was sketched out and planted in 1990 with the intent of tracing the history of the rose since the beginning of its cultivation during Antiquity. The central alley, with its rambling roses leads the visitor from one rose bush to the next, on the discovery of new scents and colours. The trail is interspersed with stones blocks expanding from the Mineralogy and Geology Gallery and contrast beautifully with the delicate hues of deep red, pink and cream.

This beautiful Rose and Stone garden inspired LWJ’s latest jewellery curation“Damask Rowse” which you can discover here:
