The so-called Zweibrücker Rose Days begin on the third weekend in June, when the roses bloom . But the park is also worth seeing in early spring when the spring flowers bloom and from the beginning of April when the wild roses are in bloom . The Rosengarten concert series is performed every Sunday afternoon from May to September .
