The Centennial Rose Garden was inaugurated as the northernmost municipal rose garden on the North American Continent in the spring of 1967, the year of the Alaska Purchase Centennial. It remains today a hidden gem known to local residents and a special find for travelers from around the world.
Our History
Thank you for visiting this site and hopefully you are also able to stroll through the Centennial Rose Garden in person, if not today, then soon. For more gardens tucked away throughout Anchorage, please see the Links page. Enjoy your online exploration, and time to stop and smell the roses and other flowers when meandering through the many special gardens here in Anchorage and all across the state of Alaska.
The roses, beds, and rose hedge are maintained by an all volunteer crew. Interested in helping care for the garden? You will be very welcome! Come for an hour or stay for hours at a time.
