A brief history of the garden:


As passion for public rose gardens swept the country in the early 1900s, landscape architect Arthur Shurcliff designed a circular formal rose garden opposite the Museum of Fine Arts in 1931. The garden was designed for the general public and rose enthusiasts alike to learn about rose culture and enjoy the flowers. The garden was an instant success. The garden was expanded in 1932 when the rectangular section was built. In 1975, the garden was named the James P. Kelleher Rose Garden to honor the Boston Parks and Recreation Department’s Superintendent of Horticulture.
