Tucked behind Raleigh Little Theatre, the Rose Garden is one of those quiet corners of the city that feels almost hidden. With rows of roses that bloom through spring and summer, it's a simple place to take a breather, listen to the fountain, and forget the noise of the city for a while. It’s not trying to be anything grand—just a bit of calm in the middle of everything.
