If you’re wondering why Timișoara has the nickname, “The City of Flowers”, it has a lot to do with parks like this one in the line of gardens beside the Bega River.
Roses Park was designed for the Universal Exposition in 1891, when Emperor Franz Joseph I was a visitor.
And after being dug up and used by cavalry in the First World War it was replanted and reopened as the largest rosarium in this part of Europe in 1934.
