"Rose Garden" (sometimes titled "(I Never Promised You a Rose Garden") is a song written in 1967 by American singer-songwriter Joe South.

Gray's version became a minor hit in North America in 1969.
In 1970, Lynn Anderson recorded "Rose Garden" after hearing Joe South's version. However, Anderson's producer rejected the song's recording because he did not consider it to be a female tune.
