About the Business
Owen Rose Garden, located at 300 North Jefferson Street in Eugene, Oregon, is a picturesque park and tourist attraction situated next to the Willamette River near the Washington Jefferson Street bridge. Originally donated by former Eugene city councilor George E. Owen in 1951, the park now spans over eight acres and is home to a stunning collection of over 4,500 roses of more than 400 varieties.
The garden was established with an initial donation of 750 rose bushes by the Eugene Rose Society, and has since been maintained and expanded by dedicated volunteers, including the Delta Rotary who led a major renovation project from 1999 to 2004. In addition to the impressive rose collection, the park features the Oregon Heritage Cherry Tree, open turf areas, gravel walkways, a gazebo, picnic areas, and more.
Visitors can also get involved with the park through the Volunteer Program, where they can learn new skills, meet like-minded individuals, and contribute to the preservation and enhancement of Eugene's parks and open spaces. Owen Rose Garden is a beautiful and tranquil oasis in the heart of the city, perfect for nature lovers and garden enthusiasts alike.
Reviews
"Owen Botanical Garden is a jewel nestled in Eugene. The Owen Heritage Cherry Tree is spectacular when it is in full bloom. The variety of Roses is phenomenal, and you will be impressed by the sheer beauty of this special spot. The aromatherapy benefits while you walk the paths are a bonus. Dogs on leashes are welcome and please clean up after them. Kid-friendly outdoor space. This is a beautiful spot to have lunch and there are eating areas right next to the free parking lot. Perfect place to take wedding or prom photos."
"This was a beautiful stop, we where nicely surprised with how many people where visiting so early in the morning. On the side of caution just make sure your car is locked as homeless sleeping under bench and another allowing dog to run around with no leash ."
"The roses are beautiful this time of year. And if we walk toward the left about 500' you may find the spot where I took the pictures of these busy ducks."
"There were so many different colors and varieties of roses it was unreal! Simply beautifully kept grounds, great accessible walkways, and even though we snagged the last parking spot available it did not feel crowded in the garden as walkways were wide and people kept their distance. I did notice some sketchily parked vans/vehicles, which I assume people were living in, sprinkled about the parking lot, which made the experience feel tarnished as the homeless population in this area can be a bit aggressive and dangerous. But overall it was an amazing place to visit and I would recommend! Just make sure to lock your vehicle and keep your kids close!"
"Amazing care and cleanliness of this park. June is one of the best months to visit; almost all the garden is fully blooming and all the flowers are opened and vibrant. Great for photography sessions. There are benches located around the park, as well as restrooms. No fee to enter or park. Many picnic areas for group reunions, proposals, wedding pics, etc. The neighborhood around is ok, some of the streets are not the best; but the park itself is beautiful, clean, great condition and safe. We didn’t find any homeless people, but the area before getting there showed that there were some."
