May is a perfect month to visit as the rose garden is in full blossom.
Imagine a poet walking through the rose vault!
Rainer Maria Rilke was one of those poets as his famous poem The Panther is subtitled In Jardin des Plantes because of a nearby zoo.
The rose garden is officially called Jardin de Roses et de Roches (The Rose and Rock garden). This part of the garden is not very old however, it is my favorite.
Don't forget to visit the other parts of the garden - especially an alpine garden and a big greenhouse are worth a visit. The alpine garden is a very old garden renewed in the 20th century. It contains a collection of alpine flowers from all over the world among which the pistachio tree is one of the oldest. Garden consists of 11 other different units from an ecological garden to an iris garden.
If you are visiting Paris you can also visit Jardin de Luxembourg and Bois de Vincennes. Giverny and Versailles are of course also not far away.
