[Lower Rose Garden #1]

Photograph of the Lower Rose Garden at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. Prominent at center is the "rose ramp", a wide set of triangular arrangements of red roses bordered with short hedges with a water stream running along concrete steps down the middle of the ramp and stairs along both sides of the flowers. Above the "rose ramp" are a set of stone stairs leading to a raised platform containing a wide pavilion occupied with several people with square, wooden colonnades on both ends of the structure, a tiled trapezoidal roof, and stone brick pillars. Below the "rose ramp" is a rectangular pond containing a water jet, and several polygonal beds of roses of various colors lined with hedges. Several white metal arches arranged alongside each other in squares sit on intersections of grass paths. This portion of the garden, also occupied by visitors observing, is bordered by latticed wooden fences placed on short brick walls, and lined with hedges and garden benches.
