Photo Diary: International Rose Test Garden, Portland [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-06-19

This lovely garden is located inside Washington Park in Portland OR. According to the signage, the garden was founded in 1915 as a refuge for Rose varieties being grown in Europe, and became a “test garden”, where new varieties from around the world are evaluated for their color, hardiness, and growing conditions. Today there are over 600 varieties in the garden.

Some photos from a visit.
