This is yet another destination located in Washington Park, a huge city park in Portland, Oregon. Within the Park are the Japanese Garden, the Oregon Zoo, Hoyt Arboretum, the Oregon Holocaust Museum, a Children’s Museum, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the World Forestry Center and this enormous rose garden. I have been to lots of rose gardens around the country but nothing I have ever seen compares with this.
The International Rose Test Garden sits on 4 1/2 acres and is comprised of more than 10,000 rose bushes, covering over 600 varieties. It was established in 1917 and is a stunning display of Portland’s love affair with the rose.
