The Rogers Rose Garden is a rose garden within Hamilton Gardens, at Hungerford Crescent in Hamilton East. It is open to all and sits beside the Hamilton Gardens children's playground. The garden was created in 1969 and is named after Dr Denis Rogers, a former Hamilton mayor from 1959 to 1968, who was the first chancellor of the University of Waikato. The website describes it as award winning.
The garden shows the development of the modern rose, with themed sections, climbing and weeping varieties, and hybrid teas and floribundas. Visitors can walk through the themed sections, and the website says it is a favourite for photographers. The garden hosts the annual Pacific Rose Bowl Festival, where the public votes for New Zealand's Rose of the Year. It is one of several gardens in the Hamilton Gardens site, which also includes medieval, Egyptian, Chinese and Tudor gardens.
