The Parc de la Grange on the shore of Lake Geneva was established 1918. In June 1946, the rose garden was inaugurated on an area of 12'000 m2 and 12'000 roses in 150 varieties planted.
It was the location of the annual Geneva rose competition from 1947-2015.
Unfortunately, meanwhile the park has been redecorated and most roses removed. The plant listing shows the original plantation (from "Les Amis des Roses", 3. trimester 1947, pp. 18-19)
