You don't have to love roses to love the Rose Garden. It's got beautiful views and there are so many roses that you can't help but look at them, smell them and enjoy them! The Japanese Garden is nearby (just up the hill) and is also a memorable visit - a sanctuary right in the city, lovely and peaceful.
