Woodland Park Rose Garden, Seattle

No, this isn't the zoo, although the zoo is indeed smack in the middle of this park, which lives up to its name—Woodland Park Rose Garden with 188 acres of towering deciduous forest and rolling lawns. It also offers tennis courts, playfields and picnic areas on its east side near Green Lake, and shrubbery-shrouded meadows on its west side on Phinney Avenue North. In the center, by one of the zoo entrances, is the park's beloved rose garden. The high-walled space is crammed with dozens of different hybrids, tea roses and climbers.
