The Tulsa Municipal Rose Garden was constructed with hand labor and teams of horses as a W.P.A. project in 1934 and 1935. In 1937 the Better Homes and Garden Magazine presented a bronze plaque to the Tulsa Garden Club (one of Tulsa Garden Center's founding affiliate organizations). This honor was considered to be an extraordinary achievement since it was given just two years after the first plantings. The Rose Garden has continued to receive high praise over the years. English Rosarian Harry Wheatcraft pronounced it the finest in design and maintenance that he had ever seen in the United States. In 1961 it was featured in Great Gardens of America.
Presently there are approximately 5,000 rose plants representing nearly 250 varieties in the Rose Garden. Location of each type of rose may be found at the Rose Garden map link.The roses bloom from May until frost (usually in November), but the peak bloom period is from mid-May through June and then again in October. The most popular variety of rose is the hybrid tea, offering an exceptional variety of color, fragrance, flower size and shape.
