By the seventeenth century, roses were extensively grown in almost every European garden. Three hundred years later they remain firm favourites and nowhere more so than in Ulster - the home, for over a century, of two world-famous breeders: Dickson's of Newtownards and McCredy's of Portadown.
The best time to visit the garden is during Belfast Rose Week in mid July - the period which coincides with the final judging of trial roses.

The McCredy nursery business has produced a virtually unbroken series of floribundas, hybrid teas and climbing roses since 1895 and among their numerous award-winning successes visitors will find such familiar cultivars a ,Mischief', 'Evelyn Fison', 'Uncle Walter', 'Picadilly' and 'Molly McCredy.

A display garden tracing the history of the rose can be found close to Wilmont House. Other attractions of the park include an international camellia trials ground south west of the house.
Located 1.5 miles south east of Dunmurry on the Upper Malone Road, Belfast. NGR: J 307677
