The '''Parc et Roseraie du Château de Rambures''' (10 hectares) is a private park with [[arboretum]] and [[rose garden]] located at the [[Château de Rambures]], 8, rue du Château, [[Rambures]], [[Somme (department)|Somme]], [[Picardie]], [[France]]. It has been recognized as a ''[[Jardin Remarquable]]'' by the [[French Ministry of Culture]] and is open to the public.
An English-style park surrounds the 15th-century fortress, a listed monument since 1840, and its 18th-century outbuildings. It contains a number of very old trees. In 1987, about 30 trees were registered as an arboretum by the Amiens Forestry Management Organisation, including an ancient white [[mulberry]] tree and giant [[Sequoiadendron giganteum|sequoia]], 200 years old, brought back from the United States in 1787 by the [[Marquis de la Roche-Fontenilles]]. [[Tilia|Linden]]s, [[Populus|poplar]]s, [[oak]]s and [[conifer]]s comprise the rest of the arboretum, with notable specimens including  ''[[Acer pseudoplatanus]]'', ''[[Aesculus hippocastanum]]'', ''[[Carpinus betulus]]'', ''[[Carya ovata]]'', ''[[Chamaecyparis lawsoniana]]'', ''[[Larix decidua]]'', ''[[Picea excelsa]]'' and ''[[Pinus nigra]] corsicata''.
The park has been augmented with a [[rose]] garden, planted in 2003, containing some 2500 bushes representing more than 390 rose varieties, and a ''jardin des simples'' in the medieval style.
