Of all the flowers at the garden, the two I love the most are roses and tulips. Does anyone have any favorites?

Yes. I went there earlier this year and it was so beautiful. I couldn't believe it was in the Bronx, considering how lovely it was compared to some neighborhoods in the area. That was one site to see. I would recommend that experience to anyone.
