The Klamath Falls Rose Garden is located in Government Gardens in Rotorua and are named for Rotorua’s sister city in Oregon, USA.
A popular venue for weddings, the roses begin blooming in mid November and continue flowering right through until June and peak over the summer months. The Klamath Falls Rose Garden is a very popular destination for the many tourists that visit Rotorua each year.
We passed the garden on a recent shore excursion from the Dawn Princess. We are very curious to know how it got its name, as we live in the State of Oregon, where Klamath Falls is a small community linked with the Klamath Indians (not directly related to the coastal British Columbia band whose artist provided the totem.
We would appreciate any information.
Thank you.
