HISTORY OF THE HERB HOUSE ROSE GARDEN
In 1956 a sunken rose garden, designed in a formal pattern of a Shakespearean garden was planted on the north side of the arena in Queen's Park. It contained 1,100 hybrid and floribunda roses.

In 1981 the Rose Garden was dedicated to Mr. Herb House. Mr. House was an individual who was dedicated to serving the community of New Westminster for more than 50 years. He was an executive member of the New Westminster Minor Hockey Association for 42 years. He also served on many other organizations in the city and was the recipient of several awards including the Queen's Silver Jubilee Medal.

A major renovation of the Rose Garden was completed in 1992, which was made possible by a $40,000 grant from the Rotary Club of New Westminster. The renovation included the installation of new drainage and irrigation and new brick pathways through the garden. More than 800 roses were planted in rebuilt beds and surrounded by new lawn. A cedar gazebo was constructed to provide a quiet sheltered spot to enjoy the beauty of the garden.

The Herb House Rose Garden is open to the general public or may be reserved for your special function (weddings, anniversary tea, etc.) by calling the Queen's Park Facilities Office at 604-777-5111.
