University of Evansville Rose GardenThis garden is located on the UE campus near the corner of Lincoln and Weinbach Avenues. Master Gardeners plant, prune, water, and weed the many varieties of roses in this garden. Their efforts have produced a stately garden – complete with benches from which visitors can escape into a beautiful world of color and fragrance. It is bordered by boxwoods, which help define the space.
It was established in 1955, and moved to its present location in 2006. The UE 1955 class has donated funds for the upkeep of this garden. A propagation class is held every fall and is open to the general public. The Garden is also readied for winter in the fall.
