Review:
It is hard to imagine a more beautiful setting for vacation photos or for a quiet stroll than a garden with more than 4,500 roses. Owen Rose Garden lies on eight and a half-acres on the bank of the Willamette River not far from the Washington/Jefferson Street Bridge.
The land for the garden was donated in 1951 by former Eugene councilor George E. Owen, and the Eugene Rose Society happily donated the first 750 rose bushes. Today, visitors can see more than 400 varieties of roses, some of which are precious heirloom and heritage varieties. The garden could not be kept in its current wonderful state without the help of many volunteers and Delta Rotary.
