The Rose Park
The Rose Park is located in the historic center of town and features a path extending for approximately 300 meters, adorned with downy oak trees and multicolored roses, planted over time.
Bossolasco's floral tradition began in the 1960s, when a visionary town clerk had the idea of embellishing the streets and squares with rose bushes. This initiative, combined with the numerous lavender fields that surrounded the town until that decade and the memory of the "lavender festival" celebrated in August, now defunct, has established Bossolasco as a precious jewel of the Alta Langa.
The Rose Park is not only a place of beauty, but also of profound history. Founded in 1926 as the "Park of Remembrance," it was dedicated to the young men who fell in war, with the planting of 24 horse chestnut trees. Over the years, the park has hosted various celebrations and commemorations. However, the commemorative plaques, once present, are no longer there. Today, the park is home to downy oaks and some roses planted in the past. An interesting detail: in 1926, the Mayor's appeal to finance the park raised 255 lire, demonstrating the spirit of solidarity among the citizens and their attachment to the town.
Thanks to the total absence of architectural barriers, the Rose Park is accessible and open to all.
Completely renovated, the park will feature more than 200 roses of different varieties.
