Experience the magic of the International Rose Test Garden where over 10,000 rose bushes burst into bloom from May to October, boasting a mind-boggling 610 rose varieties. While most of the roses are up for grabs in stores, 10 to 20 new varieties take center stage each year, showing off the latest and greatest the market has to offer.

Behold Portland’s pride and joy: a beloved green haven and one of its oldest parks. This sprawling 12-block oasis unfolds to the north of Portland State University and has a special spot in the hearts of locals and businesses in the Cultural District. It’s a front-row guest to iconic landmarks like the Portland Art Museum and Oregon Historical Society.
