The garden was originally founded by the Stettin Association of Garden Lovers in 1928.
During the post-war era, the garden fell into neglect and was functionally abandoned for several decades until the 2007 restoration project.
The signature bird sculpture in the fountain was reconstructed based on original archival photographs from the 1920s.
The garden was awarded the 'Modernization of the Year' title in 2007 for its high-quality restorative work.
It features a distinct geometric layout typical of 1920s German landscape architecture.
Różanka Rose Garden is a historic two-hectare garden located in the northern district of Szczecin. Originally established in 1928 as a rose exhibition garden, it was restored and reopened in 2007 to preserve its early 20th-century character. The garden features approximately 9,000 rose bushes representing nearly 100 different varieties. Its centerpiece is a restored concrete fountain featuring 14 water jets and a modernist sculpture depicting birds. The landscape includes historical pergolas, granite paths, and a specialized irrigation system installed during its renovation. The garden also houses an arboretum section containing rare tree species such as the Japanese larch and the yellow buckeye. It operates as part of the city's municipal green space management under the Zakład Usług Komunalnych.
The elevated viewing point overlooking the central fountain and the bird sculpture.
Visit during the peak blooming period, typically from mid-June to July, for the most vibrant rose displays.
Bring a book or a picnic blanket, as the garden is designed with several secluded green areas meant for quiet relaxation.
Check local event listings for occasional outdoor concerts or open-air exhibitions held on the central lawn.
Do not expect a large botanical research center; this is a focused historical ornamental garden rather than a vast forest park.
The garden is typically closed during the winter months when the roses are protected and the fountain is shut down.
Stay on marked paths to avoid damaging flower beds; do not pick the roses.
