NOTE: While you are welcomed to use the rose bushes as a backdrop to your event, both renters and the general public are prohibited from clipping Roses, harvesting petals, and/or removing Rose petals from the ground, per Corvallis Municipal Code Section 5.01.170. In addition, the use of rice, bird seed, artificial flower petals and streamers are also prohibited. There are no cooking facilities, tables, or electrical outlets in the Garden. While the Rose Garden does not have a restroom, there is usually a port-a-potty within walking distance during the rental season. Brides often reserve the nearby Tunison Community Room for their pre-wedding preparations, reserve the Rose Garden for the wedding ceremony, and reserve one of the large shelters for their wedding reception, creating a beautiful, complete, outdoor event. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
