Just strolling through, pausing to sit, now and again bending over to smell a rose (and once to take one!), calmed me to the point everything cleared, I saw what I needed to see, and knew the roses helped show the way. It's a gorgeous meditative spot, a perfect backdrop for photos, and a can't miss for out-of-town visitors or first time locals. Lovely. Absolutely lovely.

There are literally hundreds of varieties of roses there (It's not for nothing that they call Portland the Rose City). It's definitely worth the stop if you're in town between May and September.
