With just a couple clicks your vote can help San Jose's Municipal Rose Garden win recognition as  "American's Best Rose Garden."  Sponsored by All-America Rose Selections (AARS), the national competition is looking for the best public rose gardens in America.  Voting started April 1, 2010 and closes July 1, 2010. The winner will be announced this summer.

The top ten gardens with the most votes will become finalists and then an AARS panel of experts will travel to the gardens and evaluate them on beauty, creativity and their overall contribution to the community. The winning rose garden will receive $2,500 and be featured in a public relations campaign highlighting the best gardens in the country.

Click on the vote button and answer a few simple questions - age, (no worries -only an age range)gender, quantity of roses bought in a year and how often you visit your rose garden.

    The Rosegarden holds a special place in my heart my husband of 25 yrs. proposed to me there. We occasionally will visit a few years ago he upgraded my ring and took me there to give it to me:) Besides all the great memories I think this garden is kept up so well.
