Editorial Review for Whetstone Park of Roses – by Bob Fitrakis
Bed of Roses
A large section of the park is dedicated exclusively to the cultivation of roses. Every June, rose devotees travel from near and far to ogle and smell the thousands of roses blooming at the annual Rose Festival. The rose garden offers a great setting for strolling, dog walking or just sitting on a bench and enjoying the colorful view.
The Grounds
Greater Whetstone Park also offers a soccer field, tennis courts, softball diamonds, bike trail, a shelterhouse, picnic area and children's playground. Several footpaths and a bike trail winds along the riverfront. You'll also find lots of dogs getting acquainted on the fields any given morning.

One of the best tourist sites in state of Ohio!! If Triple A has not listed it in their guide book yet they should. I visited there last year on my birthday and it was indeed a sight to behold....11,000 gorgeous rose bushes staring you in the face. USA Today recommended as one of the 10 best rose parks in the world - not just the country. Heading To Rose Festival, Cincyrose
Pros: 2 Thumbs Up
