Oregon Fuchsia Society Display Garden
International Rose Test Garden, Washington Park, Portland, Oregon
A rose garden for the fuchsias? Why, yes, why not? Indeed, the Oregon Fuchsia Society sponsors one at Portland's acclaimed International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park. And it all makes perfect sense. The fuchsias were established on two slopes beside the steps at the far end of the main transverse of the Rose Garden. Originally planted with just more roses, the slopes had become too shady with the growth of several large trees to finally support them. Fuchsias to the rescue! There are other fuchsias tucked around the roses, here and there, so start up a treasure hunt when you're done smelling the roses and checking out the fuchsia display beds.
