Tyler sits in East Texas among piney woods, a city known as the Rose City for the roses grown in the region and celebrated in its famous garden. The Tyler Municipal Rose Garden, one of the largest rose gardens in the country, offers acres of roses, trails, and a museum that draws visitors in bloom season. The Azalea and Spring Flower Trail, held each spring, guides visitors past historic homes and gardens dressed in azaleas and spring flowers, turning neighborhoods into a seasonal showcase.
