Arizona boasts plenty of eye-popping blooms, and over 1,000 of them are located in the Cele Peterson Rose Garden near Reid Park Zoo.

Right across from Reid Park Zoo is a beautiful garden few people know exists.
Named after fashion icon Cele Peterson, this enchanting place boasts over 1,000 roses spanning more than 100 species. This Reid Park rose garden is bursting with colorful beauty!
As you stroll along the meandering pathways, take a seat on one of several benches to stop and smell the roses (literally).
Close your eyes, hear a soft rustle as the wind gently blows, and take in the bright, floral scent permeating the grounds.
While the garden is always breathtaking, you'll encounter the most impressive blooms from March to April and October to November.
Peak season will be here before we know it, just in time for spring.
From flighty hummingbirds to majestic egrets, you never know what wildlife will be lurking in the rosebushes.
Just look at how beautifully that pale white coat emphasizes the vibrant, multicolored flowers - a truly stunning sight.
