Proud stewards of the Laura Conyers Smith Municipal Rose Garden in Jacob L. Loose Memorial Park, Kansas City, Missouri

Kansas City's Rose Garden began in 1931 when public-spirited citizens, under the leadership of Laura Conyers Smith, established the Kansas City Rose Society and its public garden. The first garden contained 120 roses, while the present garden displays 3,000 rosebushes of 130 varieties. The gracious circular plan, designed by eminent landscape architect, S. Herbert Hare, fills one and a half acres with roses. Contributions from individuals and organizations in the early years provided the Garden's handsome limestone and timber pergolas.

🎷🌹 A beautiful evening of jazz, roses and community!

We’re still smiling as we look back on this year’s Jazz in the Roses at the Laura Conyers Smith Municipal Rose Garden.

It was wonderful to see so many friends, families, neighbors and music lovers come together to enjoy an evening in one of Kansas City’s most treasured spaces. We were also thrilled to have KMBC 9 stop by and capture some of the sights and sounds of the evening!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make Jazz in the Roses such a memorable celebration. We love seeing the Rose Garden filled with music, laughter and community, and we’re already looking forward to doing it again.

Take a look back at the evening with this feature from KMBC 9. 🎶🌹

Before Another Week Begins… 🌹

Take a moment.

Imagine the garden paths.

The fountains.

The roses stretching out around you.

The sound of Loose Park in the background.

One of the gifts of the Laura Conyers Smith Municipal Rose Garden is that it's here when you need a place to slow down.

Maybe this week is the perfect time to visit.

More Than Roses.

The Laura Conyers Smith Municipal Rose Garden may be filled with thousands of roses, but what happens here goes far beyond the blooms.

It's where Kansas City celebrates.

Where families take photos.

Where couples get engaged.

Where friends gather.

Where visitors discover something unexpected.

And where people can simply enjoy a beautiful public space in the middle of our city.

That's why this garden matters.

🌹 What does the Rose Garden mean to you?
