Portland International Rose Test Garden – Portland, OR

#springitinerary Springtime at Portland’s Rose Garden is floral heaven! Even in early bloom, the gardens smelled incredible and colors popped in every direction. Mount Hood peeked out in the distance, adding a dramatic backdrop to the rows of roses. I strolled for hours, camera in hand, capturing every petal and view. The cool spring air was refreshing, and I loved the peaceful vibe — locals reading under trees and kids playing nearby. Pro tip: pair your visit with a walk through nearby Washington Park trails. If your #springitinerary includes flowers and fresh air, this spot is a must.
