The Rose Garden is a formal garden delimited by high hedges of old camellia cultivars. It develops like a huge carpet, facing the south of the house, with a geometric pattern layout typical of the late 19th century. It is a simplified habitat, dominated by shrubs and sub-shrubs, displaying a floristic composition with a significant chromatic, textural and olfactory contrast. It is the most luminous and central space of the Garden, where hybrid tea rose cultivars grow among aromatic bushes. In its corners young cypresses rise, pointing up to the open sky.
