Near the lakeshore a few steps from the city’s beach (Vätterstrand) is a heavenly little garden with more than 500 varieties of roses.
As you’d imagine, it’s a must-do from May to July, even more so if you’re botanically minded.
The garden is on the grounds of a mansion from 1788 and together with its hundreds of rose bushes has a wealth of perennials and exotic trees like a hickory, a golden rain tree, a Caucasian wingnut and many more.
