I spend hours here with my grandchild, smelling roses, collecting fallen petels, dancing on the fountain and stage. There is so much to do on a sunny day with an imaginative child and all those lovely flowers!

Pros: free, views, smells

When the roses are in bloom, this is the place to take out-of-towners. With the view of the city and the hundreds of amazing, perfect roses, it's one of the highlights of the city. And it's free.

Pros: free, beautiful roses, good photo ops

Our Rose Gardens have been the pride and joy of Portland for a hundred years with good reason. They are so stunning especially with the view of the city from the outlook points. Acouple more restrooms would be nice though.

Pros: Beauty, Easy parking, History

I think the Rose Test Gardens are absolutely beautiful. During the peak season of June & July I can't imagine taking my girlfriend for a walk anywhere else. Had we not gotten engaged early in the year, this was my first choice as the spot to do it. Truly overwhelming and a place I bring all my summer visitors to visit. Bar none, the best rose garden in the country.

Editor's Review

The oldest rose garden in the country attracts visitors for its colorful variety of flowers.  See the full editorial review.
