Established in 1948, a year after the creation of Pakistan, the garden was originally known as the Government Rose Garden. It was later renamed to reflect the inclusion of jasmine varieties alongside its notable rose collection.[4]
The garden runs under the administration of Capital Development Authority. It contains various varieties of flowers and herbs in it, especially roses and jasmines. The garden also boasts a collection of other colorful flowers such as marigolds, petunias, and daisies.[5] It is located near Pakistan-China center. People who visit Pakistan Monument and Shakarparian also pay visit to this stunning garden.
The 44th annual spring flower show, a three-day event, was held in April 2025 at the Islamabad Rose and Jasmine Garden in collaboration with the National Horticultural Society of Pakistan (NHSP) and the Capital Development Authority (CDA).[6]
