Nestled along the Willamette River near the Washington Jefferson Street bridge, the Owen Rose Garden, spanning 8.5 acres, blooms in splendor. George E.

With the initial gift of 750 roses by the Eugene Rose Society, this garden has blossomed into a splendid tapestry of over 4,500 roses, encompassing 400 diverse varieties. Its stewardship, including the dedicated efforts of Delta Rotary, has ensured its continued beauty. In addition to its magnificent roses, the garden proudly showcases the Oregon Heritage Cherry Tree, inviting open spaces, accessible walkways, a stately gazebo, and an exquisite collection of heritage and heirloom roses.
