Perrine — rose garden and specimen trees above Laval
The City of Laval acquired the Perrine property in 1885. The garden combines a formal lime-tree promenade with a landscape arrangement of specimen conifers and lawns. Municipal heritage information identifies sequoias, cedars, thujas and a ginkgo among its trees, and describes a rose garden overlooking the Mayenne.

Editorial reading
Editorial interpretation: the contrast between the straight promenade and the looser planting offers a way to read the garden as a combination of design traditions. The trees and river-facing rose garden provide distinct points of attention within the same park.
Recommendation
Compare the formal promenade with the landscape planting and look for the specimen trees. Consult current municipal visitor information before travelling; seasonal flowering and access conditions require a separate check.
