Turn back time to the 30's

Today about Poland, namely Szczecin. Rose garden is a beautiful park in the middle of Szczecin, but still quiet enough that it became a favorite place of young fresh mothers with sleeping children in the stroller. 
Rose garden (known in Szczecin as "Różanka") is a 2 ha garden created by Germans in 1928. In 1935 garden has been enriched by Bird Fountain with sculptures of birds by Kurt Schwerdtfeger.

 


Garden in the original shape survived until the 70's and provide a shadow and quiet atmosphere for the citizens of Szczecin. Due to lack of money and its maintenance, it began to gradually fall into ruin. 


In 2006-2007, with funding from the City of Szczecin, rose garden was restored in the style of the thirties. Over nine thousand roses in 99 varieties were planted here. And ​​stairs, walkways and benches have a character of the green spaces in the beginning of the XX century. 

This place always reminds me on my Dendrology Class during my studies. 
It should be mentioned that besides the great rose collection everybody can find also exotic trees and shrubs planted back in 30's, including Ohio buckeye, Amur cork tree or Serbian Spruce.
