The Rose Garden is the self-titled and only album from the folk rock group, The Rose Garden. It was released in April 1968.

The album includes their Top 20 hit "Next Plane to London". The band was heavily influenced by The Byrds and even has two Gene Clark compositions, "Till Today" and "Long Time", included on the album. They would emulate The Byrds style through vocal harmony and 12-string guitar blending. [1] The group also recorded "Rider", which was first recorded by The Byrds in 1966, but not yet released. The only original composition was "Flower Town". [2] Originally issued by Atco Records, it was reissued on CD by Collector's Choice Music. Atco's current distributing label Rhino Records has made this album available for digital downloads.
