Juan Manuel De Rosas
Juan Manuel José Domingo Ortiz de Rosas (30 March 1793 – 14 March 1877), nicknamed "Restorer of the Laws", was an Argentine politician and army officer who ruled Buenos Aires Province and briefly the Argentine Confederation.

Located between Libertador and Figueroa Alcorta Avenues, it is known for its groves, lakes, and rose gardens (''El Rosedal'').
