Natural environment

Originally, the French Garden is decorated with yew-trees (Taxus baccata). There were more formally shaped, intersecting garden paths. On the road to the English garden there are Caucasian linden trees. These rows are made up of 94 specimens that were planted here simultaneously with the yew-trees, around 1904.

At the English Garden there are several type of plants, trees like: sweet mock orange, maritime pine, incense cedar, southern catalpa or cigar tree, tulip trees and ginko bilobas. At the Rose Garden originally 20,000 roses were planted in the early 20th century. Reconstruction of the Rose Garden began in 2012 after the Eszterháza Cultural, Research and Festival Centre got the area back.

Reconstruction work was finished in 2015. Besides the German species, there are flowers of Gergely Márk, the most significant Hungarian rose-breeder. There are more than 400 species and approximately 9000 rose-bushes today. The flowers are about 8-10 cm wide, pale pink, densely rich with a thousand petals.
