June at the M. M. Hryshko National Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is the time when the rose garden transforms into a true floral extravaganza. Dozens of rose varieties bloom simultaneously, filling the paths with intoxicating fragrances that no photograph can capture. Unian.ua reminds us of this.

The peak of blooming has already arrived — so you should hurry to the garden as soon as possible. Some varieties have already finished blooming, while others are just beginning to open their first buds. In other words, now is the perfect time to catch the greatest variety of blooming roses.

How many rose varieties are there in the rose garden at the Hryshko Botanical Garden?

The rose garden exhibition, open to all visitors, features over 150 varieties of roses. Here, you can literally get lost in the labyrinth of paths among the blooming bushes — and that’s by no means an exaggeration. Even more varieties are preserved in the botanical garden’s research centers, which are not open to the general public.

The rose garden is fascinating not only for the scale of its collection but also because each variety tells its own unique story through its beauty and fragrance. Yellow, pink, white, burgundy, variegated — the palette of varieties covers virtually the entire spectrum of possible hues.
