Description

* THE INTERNATIONAL ROSE GARDEN: entrance Allée Achille Lignon, towards Interpol. Open every day from 6 am to 9 pm (11 pm from April to Sept.). Lighting in the evenings. Inaugurated on 19 June 1964, the gardens cover 5 hectares and contain 5,000,000 roses.
* BOTANICAL GARDENS: entrance Avenue Verguin. Previously located on the slopes of Croix-Rousse. Created in 1795, this garden de la Déserte became too small and was moved to the Parc de la Tête d'Or in 1857, 4,000 plants were moved and the Orangerie was rebuilt stone by stone. It includes:
- OPEN AIR GARDEN: open all year 8 am-5 pm (6 pm April to Sept.). This consists of several gardens, including the Botany School (arranged according to family), the arboretum, the fern collection, the historic rose garden (360 varieties), and the Mexican garden (April to Oct.).
- ALPINE GARDEN: open from March to Oct. 8 am-11.30 am. 1700 mountain species.
- COLLECTION GREENHOUSES: closed until February 2021. ((open all year 9 am-4.30 pm (5.30 April to Sept.)). 6000 m², more than 1000 species of orchid and carnivorous plants. Listed Historical Monuments, they were constructed in metal in 1880 by the architect Domenget (prior to this they were made of wood, which did not withstand the humid atmosphere very well). The main greenhouse is a veritable cathedral of glass and steel, with a central area that is 21 metres high (the highest in France). Rebuilt in 2000, new paths have been created and the plantings organized by continent.
- MADAGASCAR GREENHOUSE: open all year 9-11.30 am/1.30 pm-4.30 pm (5.30 April to Sept.). 400 m², 200 plant species from Madagascar.
Opposite the greenhouses, is a STATUE of Bernard de Jussieu, an 18th century botanist who worked in King Louis XV's garden.
