The garden was created to reflect the unique horticultural culture of the Yokohama region. By centering the collection on the rose—Yokohama's official flower—and combining it with plants that thrive in the local environment, the garden serves as a model for urban garden design. The landscape is shaped by plants that have been carefully nurtured over many years to showcase the changing seasons.
The most significant feature of the garden is its massive collection of 2,200 varieties of roses. Many of these are ever-blooming varieties that provide a fragrant experience from spring through autumn. Throughout the garden, a diverse array of trees and flowers adapted to the Yokohama climate are scattered throughout, ensuring that the botanical composition changes beautifully with every season.
