This tiny walk through the Portland Oregon International Rose Test Garden is another nice way to see downtown Portland and Mount Hood from Washington Park in the city. The trail is paved and mostly flat with a minor amount of elevation change.
Founded in 1917, the rose test garden is the oldest continuously operated test garden in the United States. Portland Parks & Recreation staff and a dedicated group of volunteers have always maintained the rose test garden. This garden boasts a collection of over 8,000 rose plants and almost 600 varieties.
This section of Washington Park is nice to pair with a visit to the Portland Japanese Garden. For additional information on the rose garden check out this site run by the city.
Note: There are many more paths through the rose garden, this GPS data is just a fraction of the actual garden; however, in the late Fall there weren't many roses left to see.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
