The central part of the rose garden is crossed by a walkway about 50 meters long, placed above a series of basins adorned with water lilies and fountains, where the sound of cascading water reminds us that, even in a created rose garden, we are always in nature.
On either side of the walkway, some arched metal structures support tall climbing plants, allowing passersby to be intoxicated by their fragrance.
In areas where the distance from the sides of the basins is shorter, other plants are supported until they lean against the railing, towering over the flowing water.
This passage is frequented by many visitors, as it also leads to the entrance of the Serrone of the Villa Reale, the ancient Orangerie, currently hosting art exhibitions.
At the beginning of the walkway, on the right side, there are two beautiful climbing plants that ascend the arched structures: the first is called “Barock,” a modern rose from the German breeder Tantau, known for its great ornamental impact.
It has a changing color from apricot to pink, produces lush blooms, and has a delicate citrus fragrance. The second is an older rose, created in America in 1932 by Jackson & Perkins, called “Blaze.”
The flowers are scarlet with yellow stamens, in clusters. It has a delicate fragrance and is very vigorous.
