In Short
Located in Washington Park, this lush garden features five acres of climbers, hybrid teas, grandifloras, floribundas, landscape roses and miniatures. More than 8,000 rose bushes are on display, planted in rows to allow up-close inspection. Every year, mostly during Rose Festival, thousands of visitors flock to Portland's original Rose Garden to see, smell and admire the flowers. The view of the city and Mt. Hood on clear days is spectacular.

June-July just stunning

by shaft28

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.
