Deering Oaks Rose Circle
Known For
Hundreds of rose varieties blooming in a historic park setting
Deering Oaks Rose Circle reaches its peak somewhere in late June when hundreds of rose varieties bloom in concentric rings — it's great for photos in a way that feels almost old-fashioned and completely earnest. The moody atmosphere that follows a summer rain here is something else entirely.
🕐Best time to visit: Late June mornings just after an overnight rain
Our Take
Deering Oaks' rose circle peaks in June when hundreds of varieties are in bloom at once — it's one of those spots that rewards knowing exactly when to show up. With very few reviews despite being a real local gem, it genuinely qualifies as the kind of place regulars keep to themselves.
