Let's call the number of tulips T and the number of roses R.
We know that R = 2T and R + T = 45.
From the first equation, we can substitute the value of R in the second equation: 2T + T = 45
Combining like terms, we get 3T = 45
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get T = 15
Since R = 2T, then R = 2 * 15 = 30
Thus, there are 30 roses and 15 tulips in the garden. Answer: \boxed{30, 15}.
