This guide is your passport to the Portland area’s world-class collection of public gardens.

Friends of the Rogerson Clematis Collection

125 Rosemont Road, West Linn, OR 97068

This garden, situated around a historic farmhouse at Luscher Farm Park, contains nearly 900 clematis species and varieties, making it the most comprehensive collection of the genus Clematis in a public garden in North America. Begun in 1971, the collection contains unique and rare species, as well as historic hybrids and the latest introductions, plus hundreds of companion plants. It is an accredited member of the Plant Collections Network, a program of the American Public Gardens Association, and is the only accredited collection of the genus Clematis in North America.

Date Established: The collection was begun in 1971 and the garden was established in 2005

How Many Acres: 1

Must See Highlights: Peak clematis bloom occurs the first two weeks of July, with the early spring alpine clematis reblooming as large-flowered hybrids expand, and heat-loving summer clematis hit their stride. In the Heirloom Garden, May and June is the time to see clematis combined with romantic old garden roses. Don’t miss the Test Garden, where newly documented species from the southeast United States are proving to be champion pollinator attracters. The garden demonstrates how to incorporate a wide variety of clematis and companion plants into home gardens.

Admission Details: Free and open to the public from dawn to dusk every day.
