Hamilton Gardens
- In 1971 Hamilton was to host the first World Rose Convention.
- At that time Hamilton had rose gardens at the Lake Domain, but these were limited in size, so a new rose garden was established at Hamilton Gardens.
- It was named after Dr Denis Rogers, mayor of Hamilton from 1959 to 1968.
