The Rose Kennedy Rose Garden is situated in the heart of Boston’s Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park and is a shady green space in the area of North End that’s is easily missed. The garden is a particularly beautiful place to visit in the city during the month of June. The memorial garden honors Rose Kennedy, the mother of President John F. Kennedy, and other Gold Star Mothers of America. These are mothers who lost a child during World War II. A wrought-iron and granite fence encloses the rose garden with gates located on the south and north ends.
