Queen mary's Gardens are in Regents Park. Regents Park is such a beautiful huge park, the perfect place for a sunny day.
The Queen Mary's Rose Garden's is one of my favourite places in London, when the roses are in full bloom it is absolutely wonderful. When it's a sunny day, take a seat by the pond and listen to the birds, it's a lovely break from the busyness of London.
Would highly recommend a visit!

If you like roses, you must visit Queen Mary’s Gardens, a delightful place within Regent’s Park, with one of the world's largest collection of roses in London. There are so many different varieties, some I have never even heard of. You can stroll through the gardens or just sit and enjoy the roses.
When we visited, nearly all of the roses were in bloom and it was absolutely beautiful. We sat down on one of the many benches in the well-kept landscaped gardens.
This is well worth a visit if you are in the area and you can enjoy the roses in peace and quiet.

I was afraid that it is too late for roses in London but I was wrong. Roses were blooming as far as eyes could see. It was magnificent. I explored every corner of this garden: with every pace and every turn of head I was greeted with a different vista. It was not only the flowers but the layout of the garden, the thoughtfulness of planting so that you see all the different shades of green, or orange with purple, or be converted to love your least favourite colour; in my case, yellow.
I have whinged about poor quality of food at attractions but no such complaints here. I ate at the garden's cafe and was treated to the best lunch I'd ever tasted in London.

Located in the centre of Regents Park, the Queen Mary's Gardens were amazing. These large gardens combine some amazing flower beds, great trees and opens lawns to provide a very relaxing environment. I enjoyed walking through the gardens – there is a sense of peace and quiet here that is rare in London. The fountain at the top of the gardens was especially eye-catching in the afternoon light.

This little park-in-the-park is a very nice place to relax from the busy life of London. The park is very beautiful and peaceful, especially in the summer.

While not a major attraction due to the seasonal nature of rose gardens, if you are visiting London during the early summer and you enjoy gardens or flora in general, you should consider making time to visit Queen Mary's Rose Garden in Regent's Park.
Queen Mary's Garden was originally planted in 1934 and named after King George V's wife. Since that time, the garden has expanded to include 85 beds, featuring most known rose varieties and over 12,000 individual rose plants. This makes it one of the largest and most comprehensive rose gardens in the world.
We visited during the first week of June this year and found the viewing of Queen Mary's Garden to be very good. However, our visit was probably 5-7 days early for optimal viewing. Generally speaking, the first few weeks of June are prime viewing time.
Queen Mary's Gardens can be found within the Inner Circle of Regent's Park and covers a large portion of the area within. It is free to visit and there are plenty of benches to have a seat if you wish to simply enjoy being around the roses.
To see the majority of the rose garden will take 30-60 minutes depending on how long you linger around certain beds and how many pictures you take. Rose lovers might very well end up spending longer.

I could stay hours on this quiet, wonderfully scented garden. One of the world's biggest rose collection, be sure to one day take your breakfast between the rosebushes near the lake.

If you love roses, you must visit here. This is a wonderful place to just stroll or sit and contemplate the roses. If you see the gardeners, don't be afraid to ask them questions. They are happy to share information about the care of roses.

We walked here after a long day site seeing and we were not disappointed in having a relaxing walk to end our day among the flowers. If you like roses this is a cant mis visit. If you like to take in the beauty of London this is also a place you can't miss. The flowers here are excellent and the mood is very relaxed. Good place to wind down and separate yourself from the city. Recommend and will return.

The rose garden is outside and I think they might be still there in October if the weather isn't too bad.
I can't say for sure as I havent visited it before
How much it cost to get in there?
And what time we can visit the garden, is it open all day long ? Thank you

Yes. In fact when you arrive the world famous Chelsea flower show is on. If you cannot get to the show you should walk up Kings Road from Sloane Square as all the shops will have amazing floral displays.

Roses still blooming now? It's end of spring and I'd like to visit if it's still worth a visit to see the roses. Been there a few years ago end of May, only saw rose buds

Yes, the roses are still blooming. But you should go very soon as they might loose their petals soon.
