The Sesquicentennial Rose Garden contains over 250 types of roses. The garden was planted in 1992 to commemorate the sesquicentennial of Willamette University. Initially, 150 roses were planted - one to celebrate each year of the University's existence. Today, a number of the roses have been purchased and dedicated by individuals and groups. The garden includes floribundas, grandifloras, hybrid teas, climbers and English roses. Beneath this garden lies a time capsule which students buried in 1992. It is scheduled to be opened in 2042 as part of the University's bicentennial celebration.
