Like the video, leave a comment, and see below for a brief history of the garden and the area:) The Portland, Oregon metro area lies on the ancestral homelands of the MUltnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and other indigenous tribes. Indigenous people have resided in the area for over 10,000 years. Portland’s International Rose Test Garden is located in Washington Park on the city’s west side. A short tram ride on Portland’s Max from Downtown connects to Washington Park’s free shuttle service. At the Rose Garden stop, visitors can enjoy over 610 varieties of roses from late May through October. "In 1915 Jesse A. Currey, rose hobbyist and Sunday editor of the Oregon Journal, convinced city officials to institute a rose test garden to serve as a safe haven during World War I for hybrid roses grown in Europe. Rose lovers feared that these unique plants would be destroyed in the bombings. The Park Bureau approved the idea in 1917 and by early 1918, hybridists from England began to send roses. In 1921 Florence Holmes Gerke, the landscape architect for the city of Portland was charged with designing the International Rose Test Garden and the amphitheater. The garden was dedicated in June 1924. Currey was appointed as the garden's first rose curator and served in that capacity until his death in 1927.” - Portland.gov
