Portland’s International Rose Test Garden is the oldest official, continuously operated public rose test garden in the United States. The primary purpose of the garden is to serve as a testing ground for new rose varieties.
Peninsula Park Rose Garden
Older, but not as well known, the Peninsula Park Rose Garden is located in north Portland. As you step into the sunken rose garden, you walk through lush paths, sweeping archways and over two acres packed with 10,000 traditional rose plantings.
Portland Japanese Garden
Nestled in the hills just west of the Rose Gardens are the Portland Japanese Garden. The tranquil beauty and serene settings have made these gardens one of the most authentic Japanese gardens outside of Japan. The grounds of this 5.5 acre have been designed with careful use of plants, stones and water features, providing many peaceful spots for meditation and contemplation.
