International Rose Test Garden No.2

New rose cultivars are continually sent new roses to the garden from many parts of the world. Those new roses are evaluated on several characteristics, including disease resistance, bloom formation, color, and fragrance.

It is the oldest continuously operating public rose test garden in the United States and exemplifies Portland's nickname, "City of Roses".

FREE Guided Tours are available from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend, daily at 1:00 pm.

The four of us—my wife, my daughter, my son-in-law, and I—enjoyed lunch there.
