Tyler is named for President John Tyler in recognition of his support for Texas's admission to the United States. Tyler has been nicknamed the "Rose Capital of America”. About 20% of commercial rose bushes produced in the U.S. are grown in Tyler. It boasts the nation's largest municipal rose garden and hosts the Texas Rose Festival each October. Tyler is home to Caldwell Zoo, several local museums, Lake Palestine, Lake Tyler, and numerous golf courses. Lake Tyler was the location of the HGTV Dream Home contest in 2005.
