“The Dugald MacKenzie Rose Garden is the pride of the city of Palmerston North and is located in the Victoria Esplanade Gardens.”
Opened in 1968, the garden has three sections: the formal rose beds, the trial grounds and the plant variety rights collection. The garden contains over 5000 roses in named beds. It is much admired by many local, national and international visitors who pass through its gates. The garden was named after Dugald MacKenzie the Superintendent of Parks and Reserves from 1946 to 1966. He contributed significantly to the gardens development.
The Dugald MacKenzie Rose Garden is open daily to the public from dawn to dusk and is free of charge. It is often used for weddings, gatherings and events such as the annual Esplanade Open Day where thousands gather to enjoy the wonderful setting.
