The Princess Grace Rose Garden, or *Roseraie Princesse Grace*, is a beautiful and fragrant garden in the Fontvieille Park of Monaco. Created in 1984 by Prince Rainier III as a tribute to his late wife, Princess Grace Kelly, the garden has become a symbol of love and remembrance. Designed in the style of an English garden, it maintains a Mediterranean character with its hundred-year-old olive trees. The garden was expanded in 2000 and again in 2014 to mark its thirtieth anniversary. Today, the 5,000 m2 garden contains more than 315 varieties of roses, with a total of 6,000 rose bushes arranged according to themes. These themes include roses of the Grimaldi Royal Family, roses selected for their beauty and fragrance, roses that represent the history of Princes and Princesses, botanical and collector roses, landscaping shrub roses, and climbing roses. A bronze statue of Princess Grace, created by sculptor Kees Verkade in 1983, watches over the garden. Visitors can explore the garden using interactive terminals and QR codes to learn about each rose variety. The garden is maintained using environmentally friendly methods and has been awarded EVE “ecogarden” certification. The Fontvieille Park surrounding the rose garden includes a lake, olive trees, and a sculpture trail.
