Oh, Owen Rose Garden, you bloomed your way into my heart and made me feel like a botanical connoisseur! Now, let's dive into this bloomin' awesome review. First off, let me just say that even though not all the roses were in season, it didn't dampen my spirits one bit. This garden was a sight to behold! It was like stepping into a fragrant wonderland where colors and scents danced together in perfect harmony. I found myself surrounded by nature's artwork, and oh boy, it was a feast for the eyes and nose! Now, here's where the comedic plot twist comes in. Picture this: I'm strolling through this serene garden, feeling all zen and at peace with the world when suddenly, out of nowhere, a heated bike argument breaks out! Yep, you heard it right. Apparently, those folks on their two-wheeled contraptions couldn't agree on whose turn it was to ring the bell. Talk about a thorny situation in a rose garden! But fear not, dear readers, for even amidst the bike-fueled drama, Owens Rose Garden remained a tranquil haven. The beauty of the flowers and the gentle rustling of leaves managed to calm my soul, despite the occasional bike-induced chaos. It was like Mother Nature herself was reminding me to stop and smell the roses, while also giving me a good laugh. So, if you're in need of some floral therapy and a sprinkle of unexpected amusement, Owens Rose Garden is the place to be. Just remember to keep an eye out for those drama-seeking bicyclists. Five stars? Absolutely! Owens Rose Garden, you've shown me that even in the midst of floral tranquility, life can throw in a dash of comedy. Keep blooming and keep the bike battles entertaining!

I personally didn't actually walk around the gardens. I was doordashing and my phone died on me and I needed someplace to sit where I could charge. While doing so, I usually put up window coverings so I can work on art projects and not have people ogling at the girl working on art in her car, plus they're reflective so it helps it to stay cool in my car. As I was finishing up with my rocks and getting my car ready to go back out to work, I turned on some music; and I tend to sing... like... a lot! 🤣 I started quietly, and the next thing I knew, I was really loud... and the atmosphere was great!! I didn't get any dirty looks from the parkgoers, once i had taken down my window coverings and was putting my car back together. The few people who did look towards me were smiling :) I felt very welcome to be me while.i was hanging out♡ I would say 5☆ but I didn't actually experience the gardens <this time 😉 what else do you think the rocks are for???>

Stopped through here on my attempt to reach Alton Baker Park yesterday from Polk Street and Maurie Jacobs Park (but it got too hot and I had to walk back) and it is beautiful. It reminds me a lot of a much more heavily manicured rose version of the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens of Woodland, Washington. Thankfully, plenty of the roses did in fact smell wonderful, as most modern roses are bred for their looks, colors and patterns, and not their scent. I did not explore the full park however unfortunately. The restroom located here has one of if not the most gorgeous mural I've ever seen in my life. Hummingbirds, bees, moths, chickadees, flowers... Everything is so brilliantly colorful and detailed! That was the main feature for me personally!

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.

It's not the best condition yet because it's not a time for roses, but the green lawn and the space created by colorful trees are very beautiful. It's a quiet place and a great place to take a walk with your dog, and it's a place where you can find the stability of nature by taking out coffee and sitting on a bench and drinking. It is said that roses will bloom until September in the middle of May, so I recommend that you stop by this place and have a relaxing time. In addition, I recommend you to see the old Cherry tree that is 177 years old.
