The San Jose Municipal Rose Garden is a historic rose garden located in the Rose Garden District of San Jose, California. The rose garden was established in 1927 and comprises over 3,500 shrubs representing 189 different rose kinds.
The All-America Rose Selections (AARS) awarded the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden the title of “America’s Best Rose Garden” in the inaugural statewide competition.

The 5.5-acre garden was previously a prune orchard before San Jose purchased it in 1927.
On 20 November 1927, the San Jose City Council designated 5 1/2 acres of an 11-acre parcel of property for a rose garden, establishing the garden. The Santa Clara County Rose Society championed its establishment, and subsequently supplied the roses for the city-donated land. Six years after the 7 April 1931 groundbreaking, the Municipal Rose Garden was officially dedicated on 7 April 1937.
