The Evolution of Rose Park
The landscaping of the rose park has a unique and very interesting history.
The park has been landscaped twice, by two different firms of landscape architects, with a thirty-year gap between them. Despite the changes in appearance and purpose (from the President's Park to a rose park), something of the character of the original park can still be seen today.
General Information

Previous functions: Park intended for official ceremonies and special events.
Principal former landowners: The Prime Minister's Office and the Government Center (initially); ownership was subsequently transferred to the Ministry of Housing and the Public Works Department.
